在下周的拉斯維加斯消費電子展之前，英偉達周二宣布，其GeForce Now雲遊戲服務將很快在現代、比亞迪和北極星的部分電動汽車上提供。盡管還沒有具體說明何時或涉及何種車型的車輛，但英偉達的GeForce Now服務將首次擴展到汽車行業。汽車製造商正在大力投資所謂的“軟件定義汽車”，以使他們的收入來源多樣化，而不僅僅局限於汽車、卡車和suv的生產、銷售和融資，這正是英偉達推出車載遊戲的原因。盡管特斯拉是第一個在汽車中加入Steam遊戲的車載遊戲市場，但其他製造商也緊隨其後。包括Stellantis在內的多家汽車公司在2017年消費電子展上宣布，將把亞馬遜Fire TV流媒體應用到即將推出的車型中。今年的寶馬7係電動汽車將配備車載遊戲，這要歸功於寶馬和AirConsole在10月份的合作。特別是對於電動汽車來說，很容易看到內置這種娛樂功能的吸引力。你要等30分鍾才能給汽車電池充電?放鬆一下，在Netflix上看一集《時間之輪》。有一車不安分的孩子在長途旅行? You can easily divert their attention with games like Cyberpunk 2077 or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The automotive industry and its suppliers may be planning for a future in which driving tasks are automated. Nvidia’s VP of automotive, Danny Shapiro, as saying that with a high enough bandwidth connection, customers could stream games into moving or parked cars with WiFi. Nvidia uses its extensive server network and those of its global partners to make cloud gaming possible. The user’s device receives a live stream from a server located in one of Nvidia’s data centres, where the game is being played. In a recent interview, Shapiro described it as “Netflix but interactive.” Buffering and sending data down are only part of the process. The user presses buttons on a game controller, and those commands are sent to the host computer. Playing the game triggers its rendering, and the result is then streamed back to the device. Thus, we have developed a great deal of technology to cut down on latency and make it possible for someone to play a game in the cloud with the same experience as they would have on a personal computer or a television set running the game locally. While Nvidia’s Drive platform is used by Hyundai, BYD, and Polestar to develop infotainment and autonomous vehicle technology, GeForce Now is not hardware dependent, as Shapiro explained. Nvidia claims that GeForce Now offers more than 1,000 games, including free-to-play options like Fortnite, Lost Ark, and Destiny 2, from top PC game retailers like Steam, the Electronic Arts app, Ubisoft, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com.
