Competition has begun heating up as to who will be the first one to operate a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles, as demonstrated again by recent announcements from General Motors (GM) and Uber. However, a lot of work is still needed to allow such vehicles to roam freely throughout our city centers, neighborhoods and freeways, but they are in fact coming.

As autonomous vehicles begin to roll out, the need for remote monitoring will become imperative to ensure their longevity. Passengers will no longer be concerned about the ongoing health of the vehicle and instead will focus on getting from point A to point B safely. However, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) operators will need to maximize the availability of their fleets, which will require real-time insight as to the health of each vehicle on and off the road. Operators will also strive to minimize maintenance cost, which means sending vehicles to the shop when and only when service is required, at times when they would not otherwise generate revenue.

This analysis is already relevant for autonomous shuttles, which are being tested and deployed around the world. It will be all more important when tomorrow’s fleets of autonomous vehicles emerge for MaaS purpose. CARFIT’s NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness)-based, artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced diagnostics and predictive maintenance solution will allow fleet managers to address these vehicle health-related issues to maximize customer satisfaction while minimizing cost.

NVIDIA has achieved a leading position in recent years within the autonomous driving computing hardware space. They’ve focused on establishing vital working relationships with leading OEMs and industry partnerships with top companies such as Audi, Baidu, Tesla, Toyota, Volvo, and more. Announced this week, CARFIT’s participation in NVIDIA’s Inception Program will provide the startup with a unique platform to further the development of vehicle diagnostics and predictive maintenance solutions as well as critical exposure to NVIDIA’s partner network. In return, the tech giant will be able to leverage CARFIT’s expertise and technology to add value throughout its autonomous driving platform for a more seamless connected car experience.

译文：正如通用汽车（GM）和Uber最近公布的信息再次显示，竞争开始升温，谁将成为第一个生产全自动驾驶汽车，但是，有许多工作仍然需要去做，才能使汽车自由的遨游在我们的城市中心、乡村和高速公路上，但是实际上，它们马上要成为现实了。
当自动汽车开始推出时，对远程监控的需求成为必须条件，行人将不再关心车辆的持续健康状态，而是将会专注从a点到b点的安全性。但是，物联网即服务（MaaS)运营商将需要提供最大的能力，需要实时观察每辆汽车的健康和上路情况。运营商将努力缩小维护代价，这意味着只有在需要维护的时候才能将汽车送去车间，而这是他们不会产生收入。

以下翻译感觉很有问题，有待完善
这个分析已经关联了自动穿梭机，正在全世界范围内进行测试和实施。它将会变得更加重要，当未来自动驾驶车辆的车队显现出MaaS的目标，CARFIT’s NVH（噪声、振动、声振粗糙度）基础，人工智能确保诊断学和预测性维护方案将会允许车队管理者来解决这些车辆健康问题，相关问题给客户最少的花费最大的满意度。

NVIDIA 在最近几年通过智能驾驶计算机硬件已经获得了一个领先的位置，他们专注与领先的OEMs建立工作关系，并与顶级公司建立工业合作关系，例如：阿里、百度、特斯拉、丰田、沃尔玛甚至更多，这周宣布，CARFIT开始参与NVIDIA 的Inception项目，这将会提供一个不一样的平台。在发展车辆诊断和预测维护方法中，关键是拓展与NVIDIA的合作伙伴网络关系，反之，这家科技巨头将会利用CARFIT的技术和专业知识，在它的自动驾驶平台去添加价值，来获得与汽车经验的无缝连接。
