The [NVIDIA Blog](https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/volvo-cars-and-nvidia-expand-partnership-to-advance-safe-automated-driving) said the technology will debut in a next-generation Volvo car as part of the automaker's largest-ever product push.\n\n## What the Volvo and NVIDIA Partnership Covers\n\nThe expanded partnership builds on a collaboration between [Volvo Cars](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00003hi/volvo-cars) and [NVIDIA](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000000q/nvidia) that began in 2017. The companies said the technology is intended to let future Volvo cars navigate complex real-world environments from door to door, including highways, busy urban streets and parking scenarios, with a gradual introduction of eyes-off and mind-off driving.\n\nHåkan Samuelsson, president and CEO of Volvo Cars, said: \"Volvo has been synonymous with car safety for almost 100 years. By working with NVIDIA, we bring together two distinct strengths: industry-leading safety knowledge and world-class AI technology. That combination gives us a unique opportunity to create safer and more attractive cars for our customers.\"\n\nJensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said: \"Accelerated computing has transformed the car into an intelligent machine that can understand the world around it. Volvo has spent nearly a century protecting people on the road. Together, we're combining Volvo's extraordinary vehicle safety systems with NVIDIA Hyperion and Halos to build a new generation of cars that make driving safer and more effortless.\"\n\n[Dagens industri](https://www.di.se/nyheter/volvo-cars-utokar-samarbete-med-nvidia/) reported that the partnership was announced when Huang visited Stockholm on October 15, 2026, and that the collaboration aims to make a new generation of Volvo cars more self-driving, though a human driver remains responsible.\n\n## Volvo's Automated Driving Plans\n\nVolvo plans to launch hands-free, point-to-point driving by 2030 using NVIDIA's autonomous driving stack, targeting Level 2++ systems for city streets, according to Crypto Briefing. The system will handle traffic lights and unprotected left turns, with future models moving to NVIDIA's DRIVE Thor chip.\n\n## Volvo's Recent Product and Software Moves\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Volvo completed the full acquisition of autonomous driving software subsidiary Zenseact from ECARX in June 2026, consolidating ownership to strengthen in-house ADAS and autonomous driving capabilities. The same records show Volvo launched the EX60 midsize electric SUV on its new 800V SPA3 platform in June 2026, with cell-to-body battery integration, up to 400 miles of range and 670 hp in the P12 AWD variant.\n\n## Earlier Volvo Announcements\n\nOn October 13, 2026, Car and Driver tested the 2027 Volvo EX60, a software-defined electric SUV with a new HuginCore system and 800-volt architecture, whose dual-motor P10 model produces 503 horsepower, achieves 290 miles on the highway and charges from 10 to 90 percent in 23 minutes. On October 12, 2026, TimesNow reported that Volvo would announce prices for the EX90 electric SUV and ES90 electric sedan in India that day, with the EX90 expected to start at Rs 1.20 crore ex-showroom. On October 9, 2026, Eleconomista reported that Volvo's safety center analyzed over 50,000 real collisions involving 80,000 occupants and found women's injury risk reduced by 88% since 1970.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
