Nvidia presents Alpamayo for autonomous vehicles
Nvidia seeks to change the way autonomous vehicles see and interact with the world through an open source artificial intelligence model called “Alpamayo.”
The presentation video showed a human driver who didn’t touch the steering wheel even once, letting Alpamayo do all the work as the autonomous vehicle traversed busy intersections, recognized potentially dangerous situations like a ball rolling into the street (a warning that a child might soon run into the street after it, and one did), and arrived safely at its destination.
The idea behind Alpamayo is to bring “human thinking to AV decision making”, meaning that the system not only reacts to the environment around it, but uses the environment to reason, predict and maneuver.
And after 8 long years of waiting, we will finally have an Nvidia-powered autonomous car in the Mecedes Benz CLA 2025.
Nvidia Live wrapped
I’m back from Nvidia Live, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang presented several new AI-powered projects, including a new open source model for autonomous vehicles, improvements to agent AI models, impressive hardware upgrades for factories, and even some adorable new robotic friends.
It wasn’t without resistance, however, as Huang faced technical difficulties during the presentation: nothing major, just a few malfunctions in the presentation.
I’ll break down the key points here.
