Volvo Cars has said that it is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA.
The move will see the automaker introduce cars in the next decade built on the chipmaker’s Drive Thor platform, which integrates the NVIDIA Blackwell GPU architecture.
Volvo says it will enable it to deploy even more advanced driving assistance and safety features, develop autonomous driving, and introduce generative AI based capabilities and in-car experiences.
Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo Cars, said: “With NVIDIA DRIVE Thor in our future cars, our in-house developed software becomes more scalable across our product line-up, which will help us to continue to improve the safety in our cars, deliver best-in-class customer experiences, reduce our costs, and increase our margins.”
Future Volvo EVs to come from single tech stack
Also recently announced by the Swedish automaker is that all future electric Volvo cars will originate from a single technology stack.
This will begin with the EX90, which will be based on the same fundamental core of systems, modules, software and hardware, called the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack.
Each new car will be a selection, or a subset, of building blocks from the Superset tech stack, and which Volvo says will “continuously improve” and grow the tech stack.
Anders Bell, Chief Engineering & Technology Officer at Volvo Cars, said: “The Volvo Cars Superset tech stack is a true game changer: it allows all of our engineering effort to be channelled into one single direction that powers all our products, instead of working on specific car projects.”
“Volvo Cars announces flurry of tech news” was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.
