LAS VEGAS — Smartphones seem to get more powerful each day with apps and zippy processors. But why stop there?
Nvidia this week showcased some fancy cars featuring the new Nvidia Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip — the same dual-core brains that *are showing up in some of the fastest smartphones here at CES 2011.Nvidia recently partnered with luxury carmakers Tesla and BMW to install Nvidia systems inside some of their cars.*At the show, the Tegra 2 was powering in-vehicle computers that could potentially offer some interesting apps: high-quality 3-D maps for GPS navigation, car diagnostic services and street sign detection.
See the video above for a glimpse of what an app-powered car would look like. (Note these were demos, as the software is not yet complete).
