Volvo Cars and NVIDIA expand partnership on automated driving for future Volvo cars

NVIDIA

Volvo Cars and NVIDIA, working together since 2017, are extending their collaboration on automated driving meant to handle door-to-door trips on highways, busy streets and in parking. The technology is to debut in a next-generation Volvo car, but the announcement gives no model name, launch date or rollout schedule.

• Volvo contributes its vehicle safety systems and engineering; NVIDIA contributes AI and accelerated computing.
• The stack named is NVIDIA's Hyperion sensor and compute architecture, Halos OS and the Alpamayo Stack driving software.
• Volvo describes a gradual introduction of eyes-off and mind-off driving, without naming stages.
• No performance specifications, regulatory approvals or independent safety validation are given; the release is promotional.
