CES 2015: Nvidia sees a future of self-aware cars, and it's got some ideas on how to get there

CES is always about discussing what's possible, even it's not a product that'll be on the market this year or the next.

Nvidia is following in the footsteps of many, discussing self-aware cars and the tools its using to achieve such a thing during its CES 2015 press conference.

The key to creating self-aware (and eventually self-driving) cars, said CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, is heavily updatable software. Cameras, he said, are key to developing autonomous roadsters, and for a car to become truly self-aware, every camera needs to be connected to a central super computer.

Nvidia took it upon itself to develop the Drive PX, a 2.3 Teraflops auto-pilot car computer equipped with two Tegra X1 processors and 12 camera inputs.

The Drive PX introduces two new technologies: Deep Neural Network Computer Vision and Surround Vision.
