Volvo’s expanded Nvidia partnership combines the Hyperion sensor-and-computing architecture with Alpamayo software and the Halos safety layer for autonomous-driving systems.
Alpamayo combines AI with traditional machine-learning software and processes camera and radar data.
The first vehicle using the technology is expected within the next decade.
How will the new system work?
At the heart of the deal is the Alpamayo software, which comes with an additional layer of security, Halos. This system processes information it receives from cameras and radar, allowing the vehicle to “perceive” its environment with greater accuracy. The software combines modern artificial intelligence techniques with more traditional machine learning methods. It is noteworthy that this software has already had a great impact, as it has been downloaded by more than 650.000 developers worldwide.
Volvo's shift to technology
Volvo aims to apply these new technologies across its entire range of vehicles, including electric, plug-in hybrid and conventional models. The move is part of the company's strategy to become an organization that develops its own software internally, rather than relying solely on external suppliers.
Volvo's current electric models already use Nvidia's Orin processor for their computing needs. While no specific model or exact timeline has been announced, the company estimates that the first car to fully integrate the new technology will be released within the next decade.
