hardware canucks CES coverage is made possible by our partner nvidia it is also made possible thanks to corsair phanteks and NCIX without them we wouldn't be here so CES was mainly dominated by VR and automotive content and NVIDIA has a large and passionate foothold in both we have to see the latest progress on their Drive px ecosystem that looks very promising for the future of driving in all types of elements from safety too smart navigation to collision prevention and finally autonomous driving which is kind of scary but also super cool the drive PX has a compute power equivalent of a hundred fifty MacBook Pros and utilize invidious drive net to learn the environment to detect objects in the real world to separate between objects such as people are the cars trucks traffic signs driving versus pedestrian zones and the list goes on the demo day showed was of a sensor fusion in front of the car where natural objects like water to similar train and then a bright flashlight to simulate harsh direct lighting on a sensor so multiple sensors can work together to produce the most accurate representation of what is being seen in front of the car all the pedestrians that cross the path were recorded as such and outlined via a box but taking that a step further to see the full potential of these spatial sensors to detect your surroundings the passing cars the notifying you when it's safe to change lanes and even in really poor weather conditions where the human eye may not pick up that distant car ahead of you but the drive px2 will and this is what the dr px2 module looks like it will feature pascal GPU 12 cpus and it will be water cooled with a 250 watt power envelope this representation of a liquid-cooled supercomputer inside the car is plenty exciting especially when you see the tests that have been performed with this side type of sensor fusion to reach this next level of information collection in real-time what all types of dynamic variables on the road Volvo would actually be the first manufacturer to implement the drive px2 system which they are known for their safety reputation is strong and that in my opinion says a lot about the dr p x 2 and so in regards to pascal it is exciting and we will be doing more coverage on when things are more updated and solidified so make sure to stay tuned for more updates
