Nvidia Corp. has announced a suite of AI models and tools designed to significantly accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles and power a new generation of robots. The company unveiled Alpamayo, a new vehicle platform that allows cars to "reason" in real-world environments. This platform aims to enable vehicles to intelligently handle unexpected situations, such as traffic light outages.
CEO Jensen Huang stated that the Alpamayo model can be retrained by users and is built upon Nvidia's prior work with Mercedes-Benz. The first Nvidia-powered cars are slated for release in the US in the first quarter of 2026, followed by Europe in the second quarter and Asia in the second half of the year. Huang expressed a vision where a billion cars on the road will eventually be autonomous.
Beyond automotive applications, Nvidia also introduced AI models and technology for robots. The company is collaborating with Siemens AG to integrate AI more deeply into the physical world, signaling a broad expansion of its AI-driven innovations into various sectors.
