General Motors has been working with Nvidia for years now, but the two companies are expanding that collaboration in a bid to use AI to build more capable robots, better factories, and beef up automated driving efforts.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang noted that the company would be working with GM in three areas. “AI for manufacturing, so they can revolutionize the way they manufacture; AI for enterprise, so they can revolutionize the way they work to design cars and simulate cars; and then also AI for in the car.”
The announcement comes just a few months since GM stopped funding its commercial robotaxi program and shifted resources toward its hands-off advanced driver assistance system known as Super Cruise. GM plans to continue to improve its driver assistance features and eventually roll out fully autonomous personal vehicles.
