I wonder what Nvidia chips are used in Audis and BMWs? The video display, perhaps: there's a nifty 3D rendered view of the GPS mapping info in the new BMWs? I don't see a real need for that kind of horsepower in an Engine Control Unit. Maybe in a smart cruise
control that does station keeping, or in a collision avoidance system. Actually, I don't really see Nvidia being in the "safety critical" space at all.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I really wouldnt be suprised if its the tegra's that would be in those vehicles. Only thing i coudl think of it would be used in in car GPS or the fancy radio setup with all those features they have, who knows. <o:p></o:p></p>
