00:00NVIDIA and Mercedes introduce next-gen self-driving tech.

00:04Computing giant NVIDIA has developed a new tech platform for self-driving cars,

00:09taking its first step into the automobile industry.

00:13The technology company, headed by Jensen Huang,

00:15officially unveiled the system at a recent conference,

00:18while also revealing its partnership with Mercedes

00:21to produce smarter autonomous vehicles in the near future.

00:25NVIDIA and Mercedes come together to unveil new self-driving tech.

00:28On January 6th, 2026, Jensen Huang introduced the world

00:33to NVIDIA's latest self-driving system, titled Alpameo,

00:37at the CES Technology Conference in Las Vegas.

00:40The NVIDIA CEO explained that the innovation would add reasoning to self-sustaining vehicles

00:45and would allow the cars to think through rare scenarios,

00:49drive safely in complex environments, and explain their driving decisions, as per BBC.

00:55Notably, Alpameo is an open-source AI model that autonomous vehicle researchers

01:00can access without paying a price in order to retrain the model.

01:05The chat GPT moment for physical AI is almost here,

01:08Huang remarked as he announced NVIDIA's foray into the sector of self-driving cars.

01:12Paolo Pescatore, a PP foresight analyst, also shared his two cents on NVIDIA's new tech platform,

01:18stating, NVIDIA's pivot toward AI at scale and AI systems as differentiators

01:23will help keep it way ahead of rivals.

01:27Alpameo represents a profound shift for NVIDIA,

01:29moving from being primarily a compute to a platform provider for physical AI ecosystems.

01:36At the conference, Huang and NVIDIA also presented a video demonstration of their product,

01:40which featured an AI-powered Mercedes-Benz model coursing through the streets of San Francisco,

01:45while a passenger occupied the driving seat with his hands comfortably on his lap.

01:50It drives so naturally because it learned directly from human demonstrators,

01:53but in every single scenario, it tells you what it's going to do,

01:57and it reasons about what it's about to do, Huang explained after the presentation.

02:02NVIDIA is currently working with Mercedes to produce self-driving cars,

02:06with Alpameo at their core,

02:07and will begin releasing models in the US in the coming months.

02:10After launching their product in the country,

02:13NVIDIA and Mercedes also have plans for the global market,

02:16with Europe and Asia being their primary targets.
