At the recent consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, graphics chip maker NVIDIA (NVDA -9.79%) highlighted its partnerships with Tesla (TSLA -2.24%), Audi, and other automakers. NVIDIA has shipped over 2.5 million processors that have helped these partners design some amazing, beautiful -- and lightning-fast -- touchscreens.
