NVIDIAVoice: How AI Powers Ford Motorsports To The Checkered Flag
In a sport of millimeters, where the slightest design adjustment could make all the difference in a photo finish, you wouldn't expect a car with a three-year-old body to be much of a contender. With the help of AI, however, you can teach old cars new tricks. Ford uses NVIDIA DGX to simulate a wind tunnel, testing the performance of different features on the vehicle between races. Ford Motorsports has been moving up the NASCAR manufacturer rankings, from the third overall number of wins in 2016, to second in 2017. And armed with new simulation technology, the manufacturer is in pole position for the 2018 season.
