Volvo is expanding its nearly decade-long partnership with Nvidia to develop automated-driving technology for urban streets and highways, initially targeting supervised-driving features before 2030. The automaker will combine its safety systems and engineering with Nvidia’s Hyperion sensor and computing architecture, Alpamayo driving software stack and Halos safety evaluation layer. Nvidia says Alpamayo combines AI models, datasets, simulation and development tools with conventional software using machine learning and camera and radar perception. Its redundant, diverse design runs both software approaches simultaneously and uses multimodal sensors. The open-source software has been downloaded by more than 650,000 developers. Volvo plans to extend the technology beyond battery-electric vehicles to plug-in hybrids and gasoline-powered models, with the first new vehicle using the stack due within the decade. Drivers will initially remain responsible, while Volvo aims to develop hands-free urban and highway functions across multiple regions, excluding China. The automaker has not disclosed the partnership’s value, identified the first vehicle or set a pricing model.
