NVIDIA has released Alpamayo 2 Edge, an open-source self-driving model trained with reinforcement learning that takes 6 camera inputs plus recent motion. Embedl says its optimized version runs more than 10x faster than PyTorch on edge hardware like Jetson AGX Thor, and offers a web page to try it on a real Thor. A notable step for open-source autonomous driving at the edge.
