At the Baidu World Conference in Beijing, China, Baidu CEO Robin Li
and NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced a partnership to use
artificial intelligence (AI) for a cloud-to-car autonomous car
platform for Chinese and global car makers. The aim is to make driving safer, significantly reducing the number of
traffic fatalities, while making transportation accessible to all —
including the disabled, elderly and children.
The partnership combines Baidu’s cloud platform and mapping technology with NVIDIA’s self-driving computing platform to develop solutions for high-definition (HD) maps, Level 3* autonomous vehicle control and automated parking.
Developing a fully autonomous car is an end-to-end systems problem — from the in-car supercomputer, to AI algorithms, to an always-updated 3D map in the cloud, Huang explained. “We’re going to bring together the technical capabilities and the expertise in AI and the scale of two world-class AI companies to build the self-driving car architecture from end-to-end, from top-to-bottom, from the cloud to the car,” Huang said.

At Baidu World expo, NVIDIA demonstrated DRIVE PX 2, an in-car AI supercomputer development platform, and DriveWorks software, to showcase what goes on inside the brain of an autonomous car.
*The US Department of Transportation has listed five levels of autonomous driving, with level 0 being totally controlled by the driver and level 4 being totally driverless. Level 3 would refer to the driver being able to take control if needed.
