Nvidia Corp, whose semiconductors power datacentres, autonomous cars and robots, said on May 14 it plans to enter the market for technology that helps cars with automated lane-keeping, cruise control and other driver-assistance features.

The move, announced as part of the chip company's annual conference, which was held online this year, represents a change in direction for Nvidia. Until now, the Santa Clara, California-based company has supplied key technology aimed at making autonomous vehicles that require much more sophisticated computers.
