NVIDIA CORP announced that it is collaborating with ZENRIN to develop a cloud-to-car HD map solution for self-driving cars. The collaboration encompasses processing both in the car, where the data is collected, and in the cloud: //st In the mapping-survey vehicle, the NVIDIA DRIVE(TM) PX 2 AI car computer and NVIDIA DriveWorks software can process massive amounts of data generated by camera and lidar sensors. Deep learning will enable the real-time image recognition, feature detection and classification necessary to build detailed environment models.

In the data center, NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA MapWorks software can be used to process complex datasets, compile and register data from multiple vehicles, and create a 3D map.
