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.

## Key facts

- 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.
