Nvidia's new Tegra chip can avoid trouble with the traffic police
Buying an autonomous car may be in your future, but make sure it has a capable processor installed so the vehicle doesn't get in trouble with traffic police.
Autonomous cars could make timely and more accurate decisions with Nvidia's new Tegra chip code-named Parker. The chip has the computing power to allow autonomous cars to recognize a wide range of signs, objects, signals and lanes.
Parker can also deliver 4K video to in-car entertainment systems. Details of the chip were presented for the first time at the Hot Chips conference this week in Cupertino, California.
The Parker chip is to vehicles what Intel's Core chip is to PCs. It delivers a lot of computing horsepower to autonomous vehicles, considered a new form of "mobile" computing by chip makers.
