An agreement signed between the Government of Taiwan and NVIDIA for the development and empowerment of autonomous vehicles in the country.

One of the most important and million-dollar emerging markets today is autonomous driving. Who is more advanced in this industry is NVIDIA, who has been working on solutions for it for some time. Now the company has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan. The Taiwanese government wants to promote autonomous driving and for this they have decided to partner with NVIDIA. It is also looking for local companies, local companies and universities to join the ecosystem.

NVIDIA signs autonomous driving agreement with Taiwan

This alliance is focused on offering the NVIDIA Driver Constellation and Driver Sim platforms. These systems will be implemented in the Taiwan Car Lab that was inaugurated in February of this by NARLabs. Eunice Chiu, Global Vice President of NVIDIA and General Manager in Taiwan, has said that it is the first time that the company offers these two platforms for academic use.

"The two platforms, developed by NVIDIA at a cost of around $ 100 million, are generally available for use by world-class international automakers."

"Through the systems, users can test the components and systems of their vehicles in simulated scenarios that represent night, a storm and other weather conditions," said Eunice Chiu.

During the signing, NARLabs President YH Wang said that the institute will join forces with NVIDIA. The idea is to offer a comprehensive test platform for autonomous driving vehicles. It seems that they are very interested in offering a strong ecosystem for the development of autonomous vehicles.

It is undoubtedly a very interesting bet by the Taiwanese government, who does not want to miss the opportunity. Likewise, the politicians of our country should be like the Taiwanese, in this case.
