Bosch to Sell Nvidia’s Self-Driving Hardware and Software Platform to Automakers

Nvidia officially has a go-to-market strategy for its self-driving hardware and software platform, Drive PX 2 driver-assist.

The company unveiled in a press release that it is partnering with Bosch, joining ZF as the two tier-one suppliers responsible for distributing Nvidia’s technology to automakers.

Nvidia’s self-driving tech utilizes “deep learning” AI which essentially means it doesn’t have to be programmed in order to maneuver around or avoid certain situations.

In fact, the computer is akin to a human brain in how it learns from driving scenarios as it goes. The tech becomes better and better on the road over time as it gathers more and more data.

“Using [Nvidia’s] DRIVE PX AI car computer, Bosch will build automotive-grade systems for the mass production of autonomous cars,” said Nvidia founder and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang in a press release. “Together we will realize a future where autonomous vehicles make mobility safe and accessible to all.”

3D-Printed Metal Matrix Composite Could Boost High-Temperature Aerospace Components

A research team at the University of Toronto has created a metal matrix composite that stays light, strong, and stable at temperatures where most aluminum alloys fail. The material is produced through a combination of laser-based additive manufacturing and micro-casting, giving it a reinforced-concrete-like architecture on a microscopic scale. That structure delivers strength at both ambient and e
