SAN FRANCISCO—Nvidia Corp. has built a powerful new computer that the chipmaker says can turn semi-autonomous cars into fully driverless vehicles. That computing muscle is needed to quickly process information on cars’ surroundings and turn that into safe driving instructions and actions. Nvidia said Tuesday it is helping Deutsche Post AG and its subsidiary DHL automate their fleet of electric delivery vehicles. That’s too expensive, bulky and uses too much power for mass-production vehicles, Nvidia said. Nvidia initially expects trials of taxi and delivery vehicles on private land such as corporate campuses, Shapiro said.
