Navigating San Francisco: A Deep Dive into NVIDIA’s L2++ Autonomous Driving Stack

Published on 5 Jan 2026, 23:01

Join Sarah Tariq, VP of Autonomous Driving Software at NVIDIA, as NVIDIA DRIVE AV navigates the streets of San Francisco in this real-world L2++ autonomous driving demo. See how NVIDIA combines a classical AV stack with an end-to-end AI model trained on countless hours of human driving to deliver smooth, human-like behavior in dense urban environments. The system naturally handles double-parked vehicles, yields appropriately to pedestrians and bicyclists, and navigates complex intersections—including unprotected left turns and right on red—showcasing confident, capable autonomy on real city streets.
