Mercedes Adopts Nvidia Drive AGX Platform for New Centralized Computer Systems

Mercedes-Benz announced at CES it’s using Nvidia’s Drive AGX platform for a new vehicle architecture designed to enable high-performance, energy-efficient artificial intelligence-based computer technology. Currently, the Mercedes’ vehicle’s software functions are powered by dozens of electronic control units distributed throughout the car, each specialized for individual functions such as window or door lock control or braking, Nvidia blogged. The Nvidia platform, combined with Mercedes’ engineering experience, will enable centralized computing in the vehicle to make it easier to integrate and update software features as they become available, it said.
