Computer chip manufacturer Nvidia has lifted the lid on a new breed of smaller artificial intelligence computers designed for use in self-driving cars, capable of powering onboard mapping and autonomous vehicle technology.

First recipient of the Drive PX 2 will be Chinese web services company Baidu which is deploying it as an in-vehicle computer for its own self-driving system. But the system is also expected to catch the eye of car manufacturers who have been clamouring for a compact and powerful system to power their vehicles.

Draining just 10 watts of power and half the size of its previous iteration the computer delivers the required processing heft to enable its host car to navigate the world without taking over the dashboard.

Nvidia and Baidu have also partnered on the development of a full self-driving car architecture from cloud to vehicle.
