…uptime, safety, and operational efficiency, said the company. As NVIDIA DRIVE Orin becomes available, Kodia plans to use the supercomputing platform. With more than 250 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of compute performance, DRIVE Orin follows safety standards such as ISO 26262 ASIL-D. The system will provide the data and computing power to reliably make and implement decisions safely and securely, said Kodiak. In the interim, Kodiak will use the current-generation NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Pegasus to process the data from the cameras, allowing the autonomous system to perceive the surrounding environment. Kodiak Robotics sets self-driving goals To deploy commercially, a…

…that its teleoperation software is now available on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform. NVIDIA DRIVE is an open, software-defined, end-to-end platform that the transportation industry is using to develop autonomous vehicles at scale. Mission-critical systems such power plants and aircraft require human supervision. Similarly, a human must be in the loop, or present, for most safe autonomous vehicle operations, said Tel Aviv, Israel-based Ottopia. “With Ottopia as an NVIDIA DRIVE ecosystem partner, developers can now access a universal teleoperation option for safe remote monitoring with tight integration to the DRIVE platform,” said Rammy Bahalul, director of autonomous machines and vehicles…
