"Nvidia has announced its advanced virtual simulated proving ground “Drive Constellation” is now available for validating autonomous vehicles. Toyota Research Institute would be its first user. Advanced simulators are critical for rapidly moving ahead on autonomous vehicle development. Simulation provides the ability to accumulate over a million miles of driving daily. And this can be done economically and safely, without the need for thousands of test vehicles. They are also far more programmable, simulating multiple user conditions easily. This is a big step forward for proving autonomous vehicle capabilities indeed." – Vinay Piparsania
