Nvidia Tegra K1 VCM
In Pictures: The Automotive Technology We Saw At CES 2014
By
Nvidia Tegra K1 VCM
Nvidia’s big news for CES was its Tegra K1, based on the Kepler graphics architecture. While we expect tablets and other large form factors based on this latest SoC, the company was also talking about its Tegra K1-based Visual Computing Module, which attempts to make infotainment hardware easier for auto makers to swap in and out.
Unfortunately, there aren't any Tegra K1 design wins to talk about yet in the automotive space. However, the modularity of the VCM has us hoping for an aftermarket head unit that might be upgradeable. We might even have something in the works for the tinkerers who want to roll their own infotainment system.

It wasn't listed because it came out in the 2012 model year. It was not present at any booth and there was nothing new for it to show off / announce. We also gave it a best of CES award last year.

We'll have more of that stuff coming, but I am just one person

Nice, I just ran through the Panasonic booth and ran straight to the Micro 4/3s camera section and didn't notice the Model S. Either way, statement still stands, the car is in production and has been for 2 years already, there hasn't been any update. If Tesla were to upgrade the vehicle systems to Tegra K1, then we'd report on it but otherwise the company had no real presence at CES or had anything to announce. I also see quite a few of them around the Seattle area and even more around CA.
Fixed. I'm pretty sure I typed Fresnel, but it could have been the lack of sleep and not enough caffeine following CES >_<
There's only a reduction from a Monster + Trenta Starbucks to a cup of Keurig coffee a day, which I suppose is better
