- The ES90 will be the first volvo to wear dual agx orin chips
- ‘Superset Stack’ facilitates 508 billion operations per second
- Ex90 SUV will also be updated to a new system in a chip
Volvo has announced that its next ES90, a super manero electric sedan that must be revealed on March 5, will be the most powerful car that has ever created in terms of central computer capacity.
Hot after the ex90 ex90 SUV of seven seats, which was the first fully electric volvo to debut on the Nvidia’s Drive computing platform with Xavier and Orin System-on-A-Chip (SOC), the next ES90 will pack a double AGX ORIN Orin Configuration: The bleeding edge of NVIDIA automotive technology.
Leaving aside the slightly confused names, Volvo says that his Superset technology battery is now capable of performing 508 billion operations per second (Tops), unlike the 250 tops available in the former90.
“This allows us to further raise the safety and general performance bar through data, software and IA,” says Volvo.
In a nutshell, this additional computer power will allow the Swedish company to take advantage of the advanced levels of AI to help things such as battery management and efficiency, as well as realize its high security ambitions.
It was promised that the Volvo Ex90 will be launched with the latest in the safety systems of the car manufacturer, which take camera food, ultrasonic sensors, radar and a latest generation Lidar Lidar system to create a 360 -degree view of the world It doesn’t matter the time of day.
Unfortunately, the system was not ready at the time of launch and, on the other hand, the advanced assistance assistance equipment for the Volvo driver (ADAS) decided that it would be better to present safety systems as an air update in due course time. Many of those characteristics have not yet materialized.
However, Volvo has said that all its next electric vehicles will now use this Superset technology, which will allow the company to “increase the performance of each car in the alignment simultaneously.”
Reading between the lines, it seems that advanced computer power levels of the ES90 will allow Volvo hit.
As a result, the Swedish firm has said that the Dual Nvidia Drive Agx Orin configuration will be implemented in all ex90 cars and that existing customers will obtain the hardware update for free.
A generous movement in the Volvo Front or an admission that its existing NVIDIA configuration was not really powerful enough to achieve its vision for SAE level 3 autonomous driving and the next generation of security systems? You decide.
Analysis: Volvo’s next generation security system is the future of luxury
While we are still somehow outside level 4 or even totally autonomous driving, Volvo believes that ridiculous computer power levels and the latest detection technology set will separate their competition cars.
During a conversation in the launch of Volvo Ex90, the avoidance of collision of stenior functions (also known as the man of Adas) in the brand, Martin Magnusson, told me that modern security systems are so nannizers that there are that the Real risk conductors turn them off.
On the other hand, he feels that by allowing AI to examine the resumes of the data provided by the cameras, sensors and radar, he will allow the car genuinely “an extra pair of eyes”, as he says.
With the new levels of central computing power, the advanced Volvo safety suite can constantly scan its environment, maintaining eyelashes on pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users and predict what they will do next, instead of simply reacting to The last minute with an intrusive emergency braking measures.
“We want to completely rule out ghost braking situations or those experiences where security systems jump without reason,” Magnusson told me.
It is something fascinating and a completely new approach to security, which has generally seen manufacturers accumulate on technology to reach the NCAP and other security standards, instead of sitting and deciding if it works or adds value.
With the large amount of computer power now offered by Nvidia, it seems that Volvo could finally realize his vision of next -generation automotive security.
