Volkswagen expands cooperation with Nvidia to cover more areas besides automobiles
According to foreign media reports, the German Volkswagen Group recently announced that it has officially expanded its partnership with NVIDIA. In addition to cooperating with NVIDIA to develop artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies in the field of autonomous driving, it will further expand the scope of cooperation to cover more fields. In 2014, Volkswagen established a data laboratory in Munich, Germany, and last year hired the famous Professor Patrick van der Smagt to be in charge of the company's artificial intelligence team. The team's mission is to apply artificial intelligence technology to fields such as robotics companies, or seek deeper applications in corporate environments. Through cooperation with NVIDIA, Volkswagen hopes to use artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies to expand the company's business functions and seek new opportunities in the "mobile service field." For example, Volkswagen said that it is currently developing a system that can help optimize urban traffic flow, and also sees the potential of intelligent robot collaboration. "Artificial intelligence is the key to the digital future of the Volkswagen Group, and we hope to be able to develop and deploy our own artificial intelligence system. This is why we want to expand our business coverage, and the cooperation with NVIDIA represents an important step for Volkswagen." Martin Hofmann, Chief Information Officer of the Volkswagen Group, said. In addition to Volkswagen's car brands, the company also plans to work with NVIDIA to help other startups in the automotive field develop together. At present, Volkswagen Data Lab has launched a special entrepreneurial support program to support machine learning and deep learning technologies with the help of NVIDIA. It is reported that the first batch of startups supported by the plan is 5, and it is expected to start entrepreneurship from this fall. At the same time, the two companies will also hold a summer camp called "Summer Code" to help more students grow. Previously, NVIDIA has cooperated with Volkswagen's Audi brand, and the two parties plan to launch self-driving cars to the market in 2020. Today, Volkswagen's cooperation with NVIDIA is more about the improvement of future digital potential rather than the car itself. At the beginning of this year, Volkswagen has cooperated with NVIDIA, which has developed artificial intelligence cockpit services for 12 Volkswagen car brands. However, as a competitor of NVIDIA, Qualcomm is also a partner of Volkswagen, involving the Internet of Vehicles and intelligent vehicle systems.
