- Partnership with NVIDIA expanded for automated driving.
- Uses NVIDIA Hyperion sensor and compute architecture.
- Software includes Halos OS and Alpamayo Stack.
- Debut planned in a next-generation Volvo.
- Collaboration between the companies began in 2017.
An expanded partnership between Volvo Cars and NVIDIA will bring new automated driving technology to future Volvo models, building on a collaboration that has run for about a decade. The aim is to let cars handle complex real-world driving from door to door, covering highways, busy urban streets and parking.
NVIDIA hardware and software for Volvo
The system is built on the NVIDIA Hyperion sensor and compute architecture. Alongside it, Volvo will use NVIDIA’s Halos OS and the Alpamayo Stack driving software, combining these AI and accelerated computing tools with its own vehicle safety systems and engineering work.
According to the two companies, the technology will make driving easier for customers and allow a gradual introduction of eyes-off and mind-off driving. Volvo brings nearly a century of real-world safety research to the project, with the stated ambition of setting a benchmark for automated driving that is safe, convenient and trusted by customers.
What the chief executives said
Håkan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Cars, said the brand “has been synonymous with car safety for almost 100 years” and that the work with NVIDIA brings together safety knowledge and AI technology to create safer and more attractive cars.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said accelerated computing “has transformed the car into an intelligent machine that can understand the world around it”, and that the companies are combining Volvo’s safety systems with NVIDIA Hyperion and Halos.
First Volvo model and partnership history
The technology will debut in a next-generation Volvo car, forming part of what the company describes as its largest-ever product push. No model name or date has been given.
Volvo and NVIDIA first began working together in 2017. The carmaker is putting this computing capability into its next generation of electric cars as it develops software-defined vehicles. Volvo, founded in 1927, sold over 710 thousand cars in 2025, with an electrified share of 46%. Pricing and availability in the United Kingdom have not been announced.
