Uber and NVIDIA have formed a partnership to enhance the development of autonomous driving technologies, combining Uber’s extensive data with NVIDIA’s advanced AI platforms. The collaboration will focus on leveraging NVIDIA’s Cosmos platform and DGX Cloud to improve the safety, scalability, and efficiency of autonomous mobility.
The Cosmos platform, designed specifically for developing physical AI systems like autonomous vehicles, will be used to accelerate data processing and enable the development of advanced generative world models. Additionally, the DGX Cloud offers a high-performance, fully managed AI environment, providing the flexibility and resources necessary for developing AI models across multi-cloud environments.
Uber’s platform, generating vast amounts of data from millions of trips daily, will play a key role in training and refining AI models for autonomous driving. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed confidence in the partnership, highlighting that generative AI will be crucial to the future of mobility, with both data and powerful computational resources being essential for scaling autonomous driving solutions.
NVIDIA’s Norm Marks also noted Uber’s early adoption of the Cosmos and DGX Cloud platforms, calling the partnership a significant step in accelerating the development of autonomous vehicles. This collaboration emphasizes the importance of AI in shaping the future of transportation, with further details expected to be revealed later this year.
