Volvo NVIDIA Deal Puts Eyes-Off Driving in the Next Volvo


Volvo Cars and NVIDIA are expanding a partnership that began in 2017, and the target this time is a future Volvo that drives you door to door while your eyes are off the road and your mind is off the job.

Volvo Cars announced its expanded Volvo NVIDIA partnership on the 15th of October, building on a collaboration that’s now close to a decade old. The plan is a gradual introduction of what both companies call “eyes-off and mind-off” driving in future Volvos.

The system combines Volvo’s safety knowledge with NVIDIA’s Hyperion sensor and compute architecture. Volvo wants future cars to handle complex real-world driving door to door, on highways and busy urban streets, with parking included at the end of the trip.

Volvo NVIDIA Tech for the Next Generation

Hyperion isn’t the only NVIDIA hardware or software named. Volvo’s announcement also lists NVIDIA’s Halos OS and its Alpamayo Stack driving software as part of the package.

It debuts in a next-generation Volvo, which forms part of what Volvo calls its largest-ever product push. Volvo hasn’t named the model or given a launch date. Prices and further specification details to follow.

Volvo also claims it’s bringing the industry’s most advanced computing into its next generation of electric cars. That’s a big claim but here’s something to remember, Volvo and Polestar are owned by Geely. Unlike many legacy brands, Volvo is in a perfect position to take advantage of the tsunami of new technology and a new way of thinking.

A Century of Safety Research Meets Silicon

Volvo brings nearly a century of real-world safety research to the project. Its stated ambition is a new benchmark for automated driving that’s safe, convenient and worthy of customer trust. We are not there yet and certainly not only using cameras. Volvos use many sensor types.

Håkan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Cars, said, “Volvo has been synonymous with car safety for almost 100 years. By working with NVIDIA, we bring together two distinct strengths: industry-leading safety knowledge and world-class AI technology. That combination gives us a unique opportunity to create safer and more attractive cars for our customers.”

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said, “Accelerated computing has transformed the car into an intelligent machine that can understand the world around it. Volvo has spent nearly a century protecting people on the road.” Huang added that NVIDIA Hyperion and Halos, combined with Volvo’s vehicle safety systems, will build a new generation of cars that make driving safer.

Volvo’s electric line-up we’ve driven includes the EX30 to the ES90. In our ES90 review, the current Volvo Pilot Assist switched on with a quick pull down on the gear lever.
