Baidu And Nvidia Are Teaming Up On Autonomous Cars

Baidu is hoping to take its autonomous car project to the next level through a partnership with high performance chip maker Nvidia.

Baidu CEO Robin Li and Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang spoke together on stage at a Baidu event in Beijing last week. According to a blog post by NVIDIA, Baidu will contribute their cloud platform and mapping technology while NVIDIA will offer their self-driving computing platform and HD mapping solutions.

The partnership also renews the Chinese search engine’s competitive edge against local internet firm LeEco, which has been working on a similar cloud-based ecosystem for autonomous cars.
