According to the matching press releases from both companies about the partnership expansion, Volvo will incorporate three Nvidia technologies into its next generation of vehicles. The products lined up for Volvo include the Hyperion sensor and computing architecture, the Alpamayo driving software stack, and Halos, Nvidia’s safety evaluation layer.
The goal is to enable fully autonomous travel from start to finish, including driving on highways and city streets and navigating parking areas.
Volvo has not disclosed any figures pertaining to the partnership or the car models that will get the technology first.

Nvidia’s automotive chief, Ali Kani, said Alpamayo uses multiple layers of safeguards designed to improve safety.
It combines Alpamayo’s suite of AI models, datasets and simulation tools for developing autonomous-driving software with a more traditional software stack that uses machine learning alongside camera and radar perception.
The two systems also operate simultaneously, Kani explained, with the use of multiple sensor types adding another layer of protection.
Kani added that developers have already downloaded the open-source Alpamayo software over 650,000 times.
