This year, a colleague made a seminar for the Nvidia people in the UK. I was not personally present. But from what I've been told, they had no glue about automotive. The only thing they have, is a high performance processor designed for embedded use, with which they want to be an automotive supplier. AFAIK, Tesla is the first going to use them. But I believe that currently they have no automotive experience in terms of software. They are building it up, currently.

Nvidia is a large distributed organization so it's possible if not likely that the relative understanding of this particular UK team is not reflective of the total expertise at the company.
They definitely have more than "just a processor": http://www.nvidia.com/object/drive-automotive-technology.htm...
I have a friend who works in the self driving team at Nvidia in Santa Clara (apologies for the login wall): https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/full-stack-engineers-self-dri...
They've also got some demos up on YouTube: http://youtu.be/YuyT2SDcYrU
