NVIDIA announced that the high-performance GeForce NOW cloud gaming service will be coming to cars. Hyundai Motor Group, one of the world's largest automakers with the Hyundai, Kia and Genesis brands; BYD, the world's leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles (NEVs); and Swedish premium electric vehicle and lifestyle brand Polestar are the first working with NVIDIA to deliver GeForce NOW in their vehicles. Today's announcement expands NVIDIA's vehicle infotainment offerings, which include a suite of products and services that improve the cockpit experience. Recommended AI News: Morse Micro and AzureWave Deliver the World's Smallest Wi-Fi HaLow Module The new GeForce NOW offering can enhance time spent charging or riding in vehicles, as it enables front-seat occupants to stream games while parked, and passengers to game in the back seat if screens are available. "Accelerated computing, AI and connectivity are delivering new levels of automation, safety, convenience and enjoyment to the car," said Ali Kani, vice president of automotive at NVIDIA.

Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) has started two pilot delivery service programs using autonomous robots based on its Plug & Drive (PnD) modular platform at a hotel and a residential-commercial complex located in the outskirts of Seoul. The delivery robot consists of a storage unit integrated on top of a PnD driving unit. Alongside the loading box used to deliver items, a connected screen displays information for customers. First shown at CES 2022, the Group's PnD modular platform is an all-in-one single wheel unit that combines intelligent steering, braking, in-wheel electric drive and suspension hardware, including a steering actuator for 360-degree, holonomic rotation. It moves autonomously with the aid of LiDAR and camera sensors.

SEOUL, May 23, 2022 – Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) announced on April 29 that it recently carried out a project with Microsoft Korea to prove digital twin technology is effective at predicting an electric vehicle's battery lifespan and optimizing its battery management and performance. Using Microsoft's cloud service Azure, the Group created digital twins of actual electric vehicles (EVs) with the aim to improve the accuracy of battery lifespan prediction and customize battery management systems for each EV model. Based on the project's success, the Group will implement digital twin technology as a way to improve battery performance going forward. Through this collaboration, the Group created digital twins of EVs in a virtual space based on various driving data collected from actual EVs in the real world, and used the virtual EVs to predict the battery lifespan of each vehicle. This high-level, data-integrated analysis model uses artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and physical models to comprehensively analyze information, such as charging and discharging cycles as well as parking and driving environments.

Boston Dynamics, also known with various names of its robots such as Spot, Stretch, BigDog, and Atlas, is a company manufacturing versatile as well as unique robots that can form a plethora of tasks. Boston Dynamics is a product from MIT, and was created in 1992; from thereon, it functioned primarily on DARPA Research grants. Then, a change was seen in 2013, when Google acquired the company because of its interest in robotics and machine learning. Finally, however, Google sold off the company in the year 2017 to Softbank. According to a recent announcement by Hyundai Motor Group, Boston Dynamics has now been acquired by Hyundai, which would have a whopping 80% controlling stake in the company, and the remaining 20% would remain with Softbank the owner before this deal.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Group and its chairman have agreed to buy a controlling stake in Boston Dynamics from SoftBank Group Corp in a deal that values the U.S.-based robot maker at $1.1 billion. The South Korean automaker group said on Friday the purchase would help it expand automation in its vehicle factories and design autonomous cars, drones and robots, as it seeks to turn itself from a manufacturer into a broader mobility service provider. Hyundai Motor Group said the deal, which involves a new share issue, would give the company and its chief a combined 80% stake in Boston Dynamics, while Softbank will retain 20%. Newly promoted Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Euisun Chung has pledged to reduce reliance on traditional car manufacturing. He has said robotics would account for 20% of the firm's future business, while car-making would account for 50% and urban air transport would make up the remaining 30%.

NVIDIA and Hyundai Motor Group today announced that the automaker's entire lineup of Hyundai, Kia and Genesis models will come standard with NVIDIA DRIVE in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems starting in 2022. From entry-level to premium vehicles, these fleets will feature a rich, software-defined AI user experience that is perpetually updateable. Recent breakthroughs in AI and accelerated computing have opened the door for next-generation cars and trucks to benefit from new functionality, capabilities and enhanced safety features that can be added after the car is purchased. With a centralized, software-defined computing architecture, future vehicles can always have the latest AI cockpit features. For Hyundai Motor Group, standardizing on the high-performance, energy-efficient NVIDIA DRIVE platform for its future models allows for a seamless and continuously enhanced in-vehicle AI user experience.

Self-driving vehicles are getting a lot of attention as companies pour billions of dollars into developing the vehicles of the future. While cars that drive themselves are still a few years away, Hyundai Motor Group isn't waiting. Calling it a first for the industry, Hyundai announced 22 October machine learning-based smart cruise control, a technology that learns the driver's patterns and incorporates that into the cruise control. To make this possible, Hyundai is embedding artificial intelligence into the Advanced Driver Assistance System feature of its vehicles. The technology is planned to be included in future vehicles of the South Korean car manufacturer.

For driving enthusiasts, ceding control of your braking and acceleration to technology like adaptive cruise control may feel a little relaxing, but may also feel a little robotic. Looking to bring a little human intuition to the experience, Hyundai has revealed it is working on a new form of cruise control that studies the driving style of the person behind the wheel and then mimics their habits with a little help from machine learning. Hyundai calls its new system SCC-ML, or Machine Learning based Smart Cruise Control, and it is part of the company's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). It bills SCC-ML as the first cruise control technology to incorporate artificial intelligence. It works by using sensors, camera and onboard computer to monitor the human driver's patterns and habits.

Using a vehicle's cruise control, be it on a motorcycle or a car, can be a bit of a startling experience for some, especially for the first few times. At the end of the day, we don't all drive our vehicles in the same way and what can be just fine for some, might be the opposite for others. So what's the best way to feel more comfortable with cruise control? Hyundai thinks that, by bringing machine learning into the mix, it might make a difference. The company just announced that it has developed the world'a first Machine Learning based Smart Cruise Control (SCC-ML), which learns from the driver's patterns and adds them into its own system to provide for a more personalized experience.
