Recently, at the annual Baidu World Conference, nVidia and Baidu announced a partnership to develop a comprehensive autonomous driving platform. The two companies will be combining their technical expertise, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence and deep learning, to build an end-to-end solution for self-driving cars. This partnership will allow Baidu to combine its cloud platform and mapping technology with nVidia’s self-driving vehicles platform. Baidu is already testing its prototype self–driving cars and plans to begin mass production of these vehicles in China in the next few years. Both companies also plan to make their autonomous driving platform open, allowing other automakers to use it. We believe this partnership gives Baidu the dual advantage of using this technology for its own autonomous vehicles platform thus developing an early edge and tapping into the larger high potential autonomous vehicle market by becoming a technology vendor for other players.
