Volkswagen Teams up with NVIDIA to Develop AI Cockpit

As well as promising with Audi to bring autonomous driving to the road in 2020, NVIDIA has also partnered with Volkswagen to bring AI inside the cabin.

Known as a maker of graphics processors, NVIDIA has been working with automakers for some time now. With Audi they’re working to make vehicles learn how to drive themselves by using intelligent AI.

Now VW has announced that NVIDIA will also work with them at the Volkswagen Group Future Centre California, in Silicon Valley.

The hope is to make cars anticipate drivers’ needs. Volkswagen wants to reduce the number of hard controls in the cockpit, giving passengers more space.

“With the Future Center California, Volkswagen is progressing toward its goal of being a leading provider of sustainable mobility by 2025,” says Johann Jungwirth, Chief Digital Officer of VW AG. “Artificial Intelligence will play a vital role as the company rapidly grows its digitalization and connectivity solutions.”

Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as
