At GTC China 2019, DiDi announced that they will adopt NVIDIA GPUs and AI technologies to develop self-driving cars, as well as their cloud computing solutions.
DiDi Adopts NVIDIA AI + GPUs For Self-Driving Cars!
This announcement comes after DiDi spliced out their autonomous driving unit as an independent company in August 2019.
In their announcement, DiDi confirmed that they will use NVIDIA technologies in both their data centres and onboard their self-driving cars :
- NVIDIA GPUs will be used to train machine learning algorithms in the data center
- NVIDIA DRIVE will be used for inference in their Level 4 self-driving cars
NVIDIA DRIVE will fuse data from all types of sensors – cameras, LIDAR, radar, etc – and use numerous deep neural networks (DNNs) to understand the surrounding area, so the self-driving car can plan a safe way forward.
Those DNNs (deep neural networks) will require prior training using NVIDIA GPU data centre servers, and machine learning algorithms.

DiDi Cloud Computing Will Use NVIDIA Tech Too
DiDi also announced that DiDi Cloud will adopt and launch new vGPU (virtual GPU) cloud servers based on NVIDIA GPUs.
The new vGPU licence mode will offer more affordable and flexible GPU cloud computing services for remote computing, rendering and gaming.
