Unlocking the Power of AI
The partnership will leverage NVIDIA’s cutting-edge platforms, including Cosmos and DGX Cloud, to create more efficient and scalable AI models for the industry.

A Match Made in Heaven
By combining Uber’s vast mobility data with NVIDIA’s AI technology, both companies aim to create a new generation of autonomous driving solutions. “Generative AI will power the future of mobility, requiring both rich data and very powerful compute,” said Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. “By working with NVIDIA, we are confident that we can help supercharge the timeline for safe and scalable autonomous driving solutions for the industry.”
A Multitrillion-Dollar Industry in the Making
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicts that self-driving vehicles will become “the first multi-trillion dollar robotics industry.” To achieve this vision, NVIDIA will deploy its Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and operating system for advanced driver assistance features on Toyota Motor Corp’s next-generation models. “NVIDIA is bringing two decades of automotive computing, safety expertise, and its CUDA AV platform to transform the multitrillion-dollar auto industry,” said Huang.
