Volvo to use Nvidia AI for hands-free point-to-point driving by 2030

·5 views

Volvo plans to introduce hands-free, point-to-point driving by 2030 using Nvidia's latest AI technology. The Chinese-owned, Swedish-designed automaker announced the plan on Thursday.

The approach also resembles a comparable Nvidia-powered system recently rolled out by Mercedes-Benz.
