Short Bytes: Participating in the self-driving car race, NVIDIA has launched NVIDIA Drive PX 2 – the world’s most powerful engine for in-vehicle artificial intelligence. Using the AI advantage, Drive PX 2 aims to provide a safe and comfortable self-driving experience.
Technology company NVIDIA has announced a new AI-powered supercomputer to drive cars autonomously. Called Drive PX2, it’s a follow-up to the last year’s Drive CX. The supercomputer is the size of a lunchbox and has power equivalent to “150 MacBook Pros.”
In a conference leading to CES 2016, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang labeled Drive PX 2 as the “world’s first supercomputer for self-driving cars.” Powered by the 12 NVIDIA GPUs, Drive PX allows the cars to use artificial intelligence to tackle the complex real world problems faced by automobiles. The 12 CPU cores support a combined 8 teraflops and 24 deep learning tera operations per second.
“Drivers deal with an infinitely complex world,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “Modern artificial intelligence and GPU breakthroughs enable us to finally tackle the daunting challenges of self-driving cars.”



This water-cooled supercomputer by NVIDIA features a software NVIDIA Drive Works that comes with software tools that focus on the development of autonomous vehicles.
These processors based on Pascal architecture deliver up to 24 trillion deep learning operations per second. This makes Drive PX about 10 times faster than the previous-generation product.

With the help of 12 video cameras, plus lidar, radar and ultrasonic sensors, it detects objects accurately and processes the information to calculate the right path for traveling. To test this product, NVIDIA has partnered with Volvo that will deploy it in its self-driving vehicles.

It’s a good way to see the world. Representative image. Image by Greg Rakozy on Unsplashed      In the ‘biggest update to Google Earth since 2017,’ Google has added the new Time-lapse feature. Time-lapse in Google Earth combines 24 million satellite photos from the past 37 years to make a 4D interactive model. As the name suggests, the Google Earth Time-lapse feature lets you go through a time-lapse of how things have changed over the years.      Time-lapse in Google Earth consists of photos taken from 1984 to 2020, which equals 20 petabytes (1 Petabyte is one million gigabytes) of satellite images. Google took these pictures and stitched them into a 4.4 terapixel video. The company says that this entire video is equivalent to over 5 million 4K resolution videos. That said, Google is also calling Time-lapse on Google Earth the largest video on the planet.  In its blog  post , the company has also promised annual updates to Google Earth for the nex...
