- Volvo said it will expand its partnership of about 10 years with Nvidia to put self-driving systems that can drive on city roads and highways into future vehicles.
- The technology has three parts: Nvidia's sensor and computing architecture Hyperion, the driving software Alpamayo, and the safety evaluation layer Halos. Volvo will combine its own vehicle safety systems and engineering with these.
- Ali Kani, head of Nvidia's automotive business, claimed that the structure, which runs machine learning software and conventional software at the same time, is highly safe. This is Nvidia's explanation, and the original article contains no independent verification results.
- The contract value and the first vehicle model to use the technology were not disclosed. Volvo's Alwin Bakkenes said the first vehicle with the new technology will come out within 10 years.
O: For drivers considering a Volvo purchase, when a dealership explains the self-driving features, it is worth pointing out that the original text does not say which models will use Nvidia's technology.
X: The contract amount, the first models to receive it, and the launch timing have not been disclosed, and the safety claims and 650,000 download figures come from Nvidia's announcement, so they need independent verification.
