The Future of AI-Defined Vehicles

[00:00] What is the future of mobility and autonomy? It's multimodal. For many years to come, there will be a mix of human-driven vehicles

[00:12] and self-driving vehicles on the road. When we think about increasing levels of autonomy, we have asked ourselves, what does it actually mean for the car design? And what do we potentially have to change?

[00:24] The answer is, of course, we have to add additional technology, additional sensors to increase our model of the environment, but also the underlying high-performance compute platform. The entire NVIDIA development kit,

[00:38] including NVIDIA Thor, that allows us to bring higher levels of high-performance compute into the vehicles as well. It's been incredibly useful for us to have the powerful compute

[00:51] that NVIDIA has been building over the entire history of Neuro and for us to leverage that to provide superhuman intelligence by Neuro on top of that compute in this vehicle. And we are all Neuro, Lucid, and Uber.

[01:04] It's incredibly excited about bringing this production version of our Robo Taxi 2 Communities in 2026. Our goal as a company is to bring autonomy to all roads and all rise.

[01:17] The AI is really changing everything. It's changing the whole engagement between driver and vehicle. Truly shifting from a formerly more hardware-centric development to a software first, which is key for a true SDV development.

[01:31] A true AI-powered cockpit is an assistant with natural language, where you can give general commands or more statements. For example, I'm cold, but a vehicle will change the settings in the car

[01:43] to adjust the surrounding to your comfort level. Where we come in with our long-standing automotive experience, that's cockpit, if that's A does, if that's driving, parking, to bring all that knowledge and combine it

[01:55] with NVIDIA's powerful solutions to really create a great experience for that customer. Autonomous trucks will be the biggest innovation

[02:08] in a transportation sector, since the invention of the diesel engine. Josei and our OEM partners like Trayton are building on the NVIDIA Drive Hyperion platform to enable our autonomous trucks to operate at highway speed.

[02:21] With Cosmos, we can now be testing, training, and validating against scenarios that we never experienced in the real world yet. It's going to be truly transformational across the freight transportation sector, improving both the safety and efficiency of trucks on the road.
