GridMatrix Integrations

Software is what turns a vehicle into an intelligent machine. The NVIDIA DRIVE™ Software stack is open, empowering developers to efficiently build and deploy a variety of state-of-the-art AV applications, including perception, localization and mapping, planning and control, driver monitoring, and natural language processing. The foundation of the DRIVE Software stack, DRIVE OS is the first safe operating system for accelerated computing. It includes NvMedia for sensor input processing, NVIDIA CUDA® libraries for efficient parallel computing implementations, NVIDIA TensorRT™ for real-time AI inference, and other developer tools and modules to access hardware engines. The NVIDIA DriveWorks® SDK provides middleware functions on top of DRIVE OS that are fundamental to autonomous vehicle development. These consist of the sensor abstraction layer (SAL) and sensor plugins, data recorder, vehicle I/O support, and a deep neural network (DNN) framework.
