Nvidia And Mercedes-Benz Go Beyond The Self Driving Car

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler AG (OTCPK:DDAIF) (OTCPK:DDAIY) announced a partnership for AI powered Mercedes cars. These cars, which are expected to be available within the next year, will feature self-driving capability as well as an active driver assistance function called "Co-Pilot." Co-Pilot may well be the most intelligent human-machine interface ever devised. The announcement at CES of the Nvidia/Daimler partnership came only a day after Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang gave his keynote at CES. Since the announcement of the Nvidia/Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) partnership last year, the automobile industry has been waking up to the fact that the race to build the first commercially available self-driving car is all but won.
