Volvo Cars will expand its collaboration with NVIDIA on the development of autonomous driving technology. The company plans to apply NVIDIA's artificial intelligence (AI) and computing technologies to next-generation models and gradually introduce 'Eyes-off' driving technology, which allows drivers to take their eyes off the road ahead continuously.
On the 4th, Volvo Cars announced that it is expanding its partnership with NVIDIA to develop next-generation autonomous driving technology capable of handling various real-world road environments, including highways, urban areas, and parking.
The collaboration between the two companies has continued since 2017. Through this expanded cooperation, Volvo Cars plans to combine its safety systems and engineering technologies with NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing technologies in next-generation models to be released in the future.
The applicable technologies include NVIDIA's 'Hyperion' sensor and computing architecture, 'Halos' operating system, and 'Alpamayo Stack' driving software.
Based on these technologies, Volvo Cars plans to gradually introduce Eyes-off driving and 'Mind-off' technology, which allows drivers to stop continuously monitoring the driving situation.
The company is leveraging real-world road safety data accumulated over the years for autonomous driving technology development. It is also applying high-performance computing technologies to next-generation electric vehicles to expand the development of SDVs (Software-Defined Vehicles).
Hakan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars, stated, "Through this collaboration with NVIDIA, we have combined our expertise in safety with AI technology," adding, "This will be an opportunity to provide customers with even safer and more convenient vehicles."
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, also stated, "By combining Volvo's vehicle safety systems with NVIDIA's Hyperion and Halos technologies, we will develop next-generation cars that offer a safer and more comfortable driving experience."
