Volvo picks up Nvidia to assist with AI for self-driving vehicles

Volvo and Nvidia have formed a partnership that will see the pair collaborate on AI technology for self-driving vehicles. Speaking to investors and media at Volvo's annual event for the capital-markets community, Volvo Group CEO Martin Lundstedt said: "Partnership is the new leadership. If we are to succeed in the future with speed, quality, and safety – and to gain benefits of autonomous driving – we need to partner up with the best guys. In this world of unknowns, you need a partnership built on trust." Volvo is the world's second-largest truckmaker after Daimler.
