Motown Magic: NVIDIA-Powered Cars Unveiled at Detroit Auto Show
It may be 10 degrees outside of the Cobo Convention Center in downtown Detroit, but things are heating up inside as the 2016 North American International Auto Show (aka the Detroit Auto Show) opens its doors to the public tomorrow.
The Big 3 and most other major automakers are showcasing what the world will soon see on the streets. Here’s a taste of some of the NVIDIA-powered cars on display.
Congratulations Are in Order
Newly crowned as the show’s “North American Car of the Year,” the sleek, redesigned Honda Civic integrates an NVIDIA-powered touchscreen display that supports the custom Honda Connect interface, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Doubling down on its Motor Trend “SUV of the Year Award,” the Volvo XC90 just bagged the “North American Truck of the Year” at the show. Volvo will soon add NVIDIA DRIVE PX 2 as the artificial intelligence brain of this luxury SUV when its Drive Me program kicks off next year. This first-of-its-kind program will let Volvo customers operate leased XC90s in a fully autonomous mode around Volvo’s hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Straight Out of Stuttgart and Ingolstadt
Audi will wow the crowds with its all-new A4 allroad quattro and h-tron quattro concepts. With a higher ground clearance and sharper edges, the allroad quattro is perfect for all sorts of road conditions. It includes the new Audi virtual cockpit and MMI navigation-plus. These feature NVIDIA tech to make sure the driver experiences a high level of confidence and convenience, whether glancing at Google Maps to get real-time traffic or checking weather and gas prices.
