NVIDIA, a leading innovator in the field of artificial intelligence and automotive technology, has recently announced its comprehensive safety system for autonomous vehicles. Dubbed "Halos," this cutting-edge solution brings together NVIDIA's suite of technologies for safe AV development from cloud to car, spanning vehicle architecture to AI models, including chips, software, tools, and services.
The announcement was made at the recent NVIDIA GTC conference, a global AI conference that takes place annually. Halos is positioned as a full-stack safety system designed to ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of autonomous vehicles. The system's primary focus is on addressing the complex challenges associated with developing safe AVs, which involve multiple stakeholders, including engineers, developers, and regulatory bodies.
Halos is built on three interconnected pillars: platform safety, algorithmic safety, and ecosystem safety. These pillars provide a holistic approach to ensuring that all elements of the AV system are designed and implemented with safety in mind. Platform safety encompasses the hardware components of the vehicle, such as the safety-assessed system-on-a-chip (SoC) with hundreds of built-in safety mechanisms. Algorithmic safety involves the use of libraries for safety data loading and accelerators, as well as application programming interfaces for safety data creation, curation, and reconstruction.
Ecosystem safety is concerned with the deployment of AVs on public roads, which requires a comprehensive understanding of various regulatory frameworks and industry standards. Halos includes safe deployment workflows, comprising triaging workflows and automated safety evaluations, along with a data flywheel for continual safety improvements.
NVIDIA's AI Systems Inspection Lab serves as an entry point to Halos, providing a platform for automakers and developers to verify the safe integration of their products with NVIDIA technology. The lab has already attracted some notable members, including Ficosa, OMNIVISION, onsemi, and Continental, which demonstrate their commitment to achieving the highest levels of safety in their product offerings.
To further highlight the capabilities of Halos, NVIDIA has also announced its use in conjunction with several powerful computers, including NVIDIA DGX for AI training, NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos running on NVIDIA OVX for simulation, and NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for deployment. These systems provide a robust infrastructure for developing and testing AVs, ensuring that they meet the stringent safety standards required by regulatory bodies.
Halos is positioned as a game-changer in the automotive industry, enabling companies to create safe and reliable autonomous vehicles. By unifying its suite of technologies for safe AV development from cloud to car, NVIDIA is driving forward a shared mission to create safe and compliant autonomous vehicles.
