Artificial intelligence self-driving car system based on NVIDIA DRIVE platform

Recently, Continental and NVIDIA announced that they will jointly develop an artificial intelligence self-driving car system based on the NVIDIA DRIVE platform. The new system will have 3 levels of automated driving functions and is scheduled to be officially launched in 2021. Let's take a look at the related content with the car electronics editor.

NVIDIA founder and CEO Huang Renxun said: "NVIDIA now has all the key elements from the development of artificial intelligence autonomous vehicles to large-scale production. We will use the new Xavier processor, NVIDIA DRIVE software with a wide range of applications and The cloud-to-vehicle path to ensure test, verification and functional safety combines Continental's expertise and global reach to drive autonomous vehicles to the world."

Huang Renxun: NVIDIA has all the key elements of autonomous driving from R&D to mass production.

As early as September 28, 2016, Huang Renxun released the next generation of driverless chip Xavier at the first European GTC. The Xavier released is not only a chip, but also a new generation designed for driverless cars. Artificial intelligence supercomputer. Xavier uses a custom eight-core CPU architecture and built-in NVIDIA's new Volta architecture, which is a computer vision accelerator for self-driving cars. At that time, Xavier was expected to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2017, and it was not until the first quarter of this year (2018) that its first samples were delivered to customers. At this year's (2018) CES, Huang Renxun released the world's first autonomous machine processor - NVIDIA DRIVE Xavier.

The cooperation between Continental and NVIDIA, the engineering team of the two companies will jointly develop an automated driving solution based on the NVIDIA DRIVE platform. The new solution includes the NVIDIA DRIVE Xavier, NVIDIA DRIVE OS and DRIVE AV software stacks, which will use Continental's systems and software engineering experience to achieve the highest level of safety ASIL Class D standards and integrate radar, camera, high resolution A series of Continental sensor technologies such as laser 3D imaging radar.

Reverse Conducting Thyristor(RCT)

Reverse Conducting Thyristor(RCT) is also called Reverse- appreciation Thyristor.The characteristic is that a diode is connected in reverse parallel between the anode and cathode of thyristor, so that the transmitting junction of anode and cathode is short-circuited.As a result of this special circuit structure, it has high voltage resistance, high temperature resistance, short turn-off time, low switching voltage and other good performance.For example, the turn-off time of the reverse thyristor is only a few microseconds, and the working frequency is dozens of KHZ, which is better than the fast thyristor (FSCR).This device is suitable for switching power supply and UPS uninterrupted power supply. One RCT can replace one thyristor and one continuous current diode respectively.
