NVIDIA (NVDA, Financials) and Uber Technologies (UBER, Financials) have partnered to hasten the creation of artificial intelligence-powered autonomous cars. The firms stated in a joint statement that the cooperation would make use of DGX Cloud and NVIDIA's Cosmos platform to improve the scalability and efficiency of autonomous driving solutions.
Handling millions of journeys every day, Uber wants to use its vast data in concert with NVIDIA's innovative technology to assist development of autonomous vehicles. Designed especially for physical artificial intelligence systems including robots and AVs, NVIDIA's Cosmos platform provides powerful generative AI capabilities including world foundation models, tokenizers, and pipelines for input processing and model customizing. The platform is meant to lower resource constraints and cost, hence increasing the availability of AI tools to developers.
Another element of the alliance is the DGX Cloud, a managed, high-performance artificial intelligence platform built on NVIDIA's most recent designs. It promotes artificial intelligence model creation across many cloud environments and enables variable term use, hence increasing portability and resource efficiency.
Vice president of automotive Norm Marks of NVIDIA emphasized the importance of the partnership, noting that Uber is among the first mobility companies to embrace Cosmos and DGX Cloud, therefore hastening the physical AI system development for AVs.
Emphasizing the possibilities of generative artificial intelligence in mobility, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed hope that the industry will advance toward safe and scalable autonomous driving solutions faster thanks to his collaboration with NVIDIA.
