CES 2015 Conference Debuts Cars From NVIDIA, Audi That Can Drive and Park Themselves
NVIDIA is most known for its graphics cards and computer chips. Now, the company is helping to develop a system called "Go Park Yourself."
The way Go Park Yourself works is through NVIDIA's DRIVE PX system. A user can simply press a button on their smartphone and tell the car to park itself. It's a self-driving feature that could be making its way to more and more cars in the upcoming years.
"When you're done with dinner, you can say 'come back to me' ... and it becomes an auto-valet," NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said. "That car meanders back out and gets back to the driver."
Huang gave the first public demo of the system on Sunday at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. According to CNET, he says with the technology NVIDIA has with its new chips, driving responsibilities could be taken over by computers.
With the usage of cameras and sensors on and around the car, DRIVE PX will be able to adapt and make cars perform safely and more efficiently with little effort from drivers.
Audi pulled off a stunt to prove that they too can make a self-driving car. The German automaker actually had an A7 Sportback drive itself from San Francisco to the CES show in Las Vegas using a technology called Piloted Driving. Similar to NVIDIA's tech, Audi is using cameras and scanners to help it drive itself, The Verge reports.
One interesting fact about Audi's new system is that it is not ready for city driving. The system can go up to 70 miles per hour but will warn the driver to take over the wheel when it approaches a city.
