Volvo says it’s widening its partnership with Nvidia, and the next generation of its automated driving systems will bring in Nvidia Hyperion, Nvidia Alpamayo, and Nvidia Halos. The target is vehicles due before 2030.
By Volvo’s account, this goes further than the Nvidia DRIVE Orin setup already used in its battery-electric cars. The plan is meant to cover future BEVs, plug-in hybrids, and gasoline models too, with automated driving aimed at both highways and city streets and built on Volvo’s safety engineering.
For now, Orin is still the production chip. Nvidia’s roadmap, though, points to Nvidia DRIVE Thor at up to 1,000 TOPS, compared with Orin’s 250. Nvidia also says Alpamayo adds redundant software paths, along with data from cameras and radar, to make the system more reliable and ease some of the driver’s workload.
If you follow Volvo or pay close attention to automated driving, this is one to keep an eye on. Volvo is framing it as part of its push to become a more vertically integrated tech company, and the company says Zenseact is already using Nvidia DGX systems to train its autonomous driving models.
This isn’t something you’ll be able to download or buy just yet. Volvo says the first vehicle with the new stack will arrive before 2030, starting with supervised driving and later pushing toward more advanced hands-free features. The value of the deal, the first model to get it, consumer pricing, and whether the reported China exclusion is real all remain undisclosed.
