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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
