The era of physical AI is here, and together with GM, we’re transforming transportation, from vehicles to the factories where they’re made.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, in a release announcing a partnership between Nvidia and General Motors.
Why It Matters: On Tuesday at Nvidia’s GTC AI conference, General Motors (GM) and Nvidia announced a collaboration to integrate AI services and computing technology into GM’s future vehicles, driver-assistance systems and factories. In addition, the companies have plans to develop custom AI systems to improve GM’s factory planning and robotics. GM CEO Mary Barra said, “AI not only optimizes manufacturing processes and accelerates virtual testing but also helps us build smarter vehicles while empowering our workforce to focus on craftsmanship. By merging technology with human ingenuity, we unlock new levels of innovation in vehicle manufacturing and beyond.”
What To Know:
- GM has used Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) to train AI models for simulation and testing. Now, the partnership extends to in-vehicle hardware, factory design and other operations.
- GM did not reveal the cost of its new tools from Nvidia.
- Nvidia’s technology is widely used by automakers, including Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Toyota and others.
