Nvidia Corp., aiming to extend the reach of its technology, announced a group of AI models and tools designed to speed the development of autonomous vehicles and power a new generation of robots.

Nvidia has unveiled a new self-driving car platform, teaming up with Mercedes-Benz on a driverless vehicle set to launch in the US very soon.

From helping drivers with disabilities to making cities more efficient, there are many ways experts say the technology will transform transportation.

The company said the new group has been created amid demand to strengthen both commercial and technical collaboration with autonomous driving customers.

Mercedes-Benz said on Monday it will launch a new advanced driver-assistance system in the United States later this year that lets its vehicles operate autonomously on city streets under driver supervision.

Nvidia says its next-generation Rubin data centre processors are now in production, with customer deployments planned for the second half of the year. CEO Jensen Huang unveiled performance gains, cloud adoption plans and new autonomous vehicle tools at CES.

Absent a federal standard, states that allow autonomous vehicles, or AVs, to circulate have had to make up their own rules. But is that safe enough?

In an unprecedented move, NVIDIA has unveiled a cutting-edge lineup of next-generation robots, promising to transform industries across the globe.
