I noticed too much use of the word "safety", like the LLM was told to emphasise it, so I did a little test: randomly scroll and move the mouse without looking, is there "safety" in there? I did it for 4 times and every time I found it. Ctrl+F -> 136 results.

I wonder if safety as in "taking legal responsibility" or some other kind of safety.

The primary focus of this product is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_26262 AKA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_safety for road vehicles. That means review from independent assessors who will demand finely detailed analysis and documentation of the entire system and the entire development process.

The page had so many LLM-isms that I just can't make sense of. > 18,600+ Engineering years invested in vehicle safety to date What does this even mean? > 7,000,000 Lines of safety-assessed code Are we seriously using LoC as a measure of productivity again? Not to mention the em-dashes

You missed the "21+ billion safety transistors safety assessed" gem. I don't even know what that was supposed to mean. Hopefully all the safety transistors in the safety graphics card of my safety-PC were safety-assessed, too /s

How else are you supposed to counter all the danger transistors?

Hot take here, but personally I feel they should safety assess the danger transistors, reducing the need for so many safety transistors.

I miss when Nvidia made GPUs for games and my OpenCL renderers. What is this trash...

Controversially, Nvidia employs more than one person and so is in fact capable of producing more than one thing at a time.

Thanks for your insight, though I was referring to the sidelining of their GPU consumer business and transformation into what it is now.

Is anyone else amused that the car shown on the landing page looks a lot like a Tesla Model Y, which famously does _not_ use any Nvidia chips (Tesla onboard computers have been AMD based for some time now)?
