It’s #CES week and Mcity is there even if we’re not on the ground in Las Vegas. NVIDIA has a major presence at the show and highlights its work with Mcity and MITRE, one of Mcity’s partner organizations, to enable industry-wide validation of #autonomousvehicles using the latest in #simulation technology. A joint platform combining MITRE’s Digital Proving Ground with the #digitaltwin of Mcity’s purpose-built AV test facility will use NVIDIA’s high-fidelity sensor models to deliver physically accurate sensor data.
