On Wednesday (30), Volvo Announced a New Partnership with NVIDIA and Google to Create an Operating System to Be Implemented in the Swedish Manufacturer’s Electric Cars.

The Swedish manufacturer, Volvo, claims that doing everything on its own is a more time-consuming task, so it partnered with tech giants Google and Nvidia to develop an operating system for its next generation of electric cars with AI.

Volvo’s New Operating System

The VolvoCars.OS, as the company named it, uses software like Android Automotive OS, QNX, Linux, and AUTOSAR. According to Volvo, the next generation of electric cars, including the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, will come equipped with the new operating system.

The VolvoCars.OS has various APIs and gives developers access to features of electric cars such as user interfaces, fleet and sensor data, and cloud-based tools.

Partnership with Nvidia and Google Could Be the Brand’s Key Differentiator

According to Henrik Green, Chief Technology Officer of the Volvo Car Group, Google, which was the first company announced in the partnership, is one of the biggest leaders in user experience and services, given its operations from Google Maps to Google Assistant. Meanwhile, NVIDIA plays a significant role in providing Volvo with the fastest and best computers available in the market.

Green emphasizes that the companies are building a new and simplified experience together to optimize safety. He states that this advancement with strategic partnerships, like those with Google and NVIDIA, is a more effective process than trying to continue doing everything on their own.

The CTO also points out that this model of developing the operating system increases work speed and allows Volvo’s electric cars to evolve more quickly over time with all updates.

New Electric Cars from Volvo Will Use Artificial Intelligence in Their Operating System

The Swedish manufacturer also stated that it is focusing much of its attention on the computing of electric cars with a new proprietary operating system, which will be equipped for the first time in a model to be unveiled next year.

The integrated system combines three computers that possess an operational view, general computing, infotainment, and most importantly, Artificial Intelligence. The company stated that NVIDIA and Google are also working to assist in this system. While the former works on the main systems, the latter is a partner in developing the infotainment systems of the electric cars.
