In a bold vision for the future of transportation, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicts a world where one billion robotic cars will roam the streets.

This ambitious forecast, shared at the GPU Technology Conference, underscores NVIDIA’s commitment to revolutionizing the automotive industry through advanced artificial intelligence and computing technologies.

NVIDIA, traditionally known for its graphics processing units (GPUs), has pivoted to become a major player in the autonomous vehicle sector.

At CES 2025, Huang unveiled the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion AV platform, built on the new NVIDIA AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC). This platform is designed to handle generative AI models and deliver advanced functional safety and autonomous driving capabilities.
