Nvidia CEO reveals new ‘reasoning’ AI tech for self-driving cars

Jensen Huang also announces at CES new, more powerful Vera Rubin chips that will arrive later this year

The billionaire boss of the chipmaker Nvidia, Jensen Huang, has unveiled new AI technology that he says will help self-driving cars think like humans to navigate more complex situations.

The world's most valuable company is to roll out the new technology, Alpamayo, which is designed to help self-driving cars handle tricky situations such as sudden roadworks or unusual driver behaviour on the road, rather than just reacting to previous patterns.
