Chipmaker Nvidia is acquiring DeepMap, the high-definition mapping startup announced. The company said its mapping IP will help Nvidia’s autonomous vehicle technology sector, Nvidia Drive.
“The acquisition is an endorsement of DeepMap’s unique vision, technology and people,” said Ali Kani, vice president and general manager of Automotive at Nvidia, in a statement. “DeepMap is expected to extend our mapping products, help us scale worldwide map operations and expand our full self-driving expertise.”
One of the biggest challenges to achieving full autonomy in a passenger vehicle is achieving proper localization and updated mapping information that reflects current road conditions. By integrating DeepMap’s tech, Nvidia’s autonomous stack should have greater precision, giving the vehicle enhanced abilities to locate itself on the road.
“Joining forces with Nvidia will allow our technology to scale more quickly and benefit more people sooner. We look forward to continuing our journey as part of the Nvidia team,” said James Wu, co-founder and CEO of DeepMap, in a statement.
DeepMap — founded by former employees of Google, Apple and Baidu James Wu and Mark Wheeler — can use Nvidia Drive’s software-defined platform to scale its maps across AV fleets quickly and without using too much data storage via over-the-air updates. Nvidia will also invest into new capabilities for DeepMap as part of the partnership.
Nvidia is expected to finalize the acquisition in Q3 2021.

| From: Augustus Gloop | 6/12/2021 11:50:53 AM | | | | | | I don't usually do this but........I've had a nice, quiet ride in this stock. It has been a core holding since about 225 (after I quit screwing around by trading it between 125 and 200). I think it's extended here but I need to evaluate how much of my core it's going to be.
I'm 55 and the technology is beyond me. I've got family, friends & more riding this like it's going to a trillion dollar market cap. Most important to me, I have my 22 year old son REALLY deep - too deep - which isn't my investment style.
I can do the technical analysis but.....what I'm saying is I need help on the technology side -

Some of the advantages of 7 nm vs. 11 nm. and chip set design go beyond me, but the folks on the AMD, ARM, INTC and NVDA board seem pretty tech-savvy. see
Subject 58128
However, they focus on AMD.
As far as the tech side of AI and machine learning, I am a mathematician by training and posted some of the math used as follows:

Message 33111365
As far as hardware implementation of this math, who knows?
Sincerely,
