SAN JOSE, CA (GTC), Mar 19, 2025 – General Motors and NVIDIA have announced a collaboration on next-gen vehicles, factories, and robots using AI, simulation, and accelerated computing.
Both companies will work to build custom AI systems using NVIDIA accelerated compute platforms, including NVIDIA Omniverse with NVIDIA Cosmos, to train AI manufacturing models for optimizing GM’s factory planning and robotics. GM will also use NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for in-vehicle hardware for future advanced driver-assistance systems and in-cabin enhanced safety driving experiences.
“GM has enjoyed a longstanding partnership with NVIDIA, leveraging its GPUs across our operations,” said Mary Barra, chair and CEO of General Motors. “AI not only optimizes manufacturing processes and accelerates virtual testing but also helps us build smarter vehicles while empowering our workforce to focus on craftsmanship. By merging technology with human ingenuity, we unlock new levels of innovation in vehicle manufacturing and beyond.”
“The era of physical AI is here, and together with GM, we’re transforming transportation, from vehicles to the factories where they’re made,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “We are thrilled to partner with GM to build AI systems tailored to their vision, craft and know-how.”
GM has invested in NVIDIA GPU platforms to train AI models across various areas, including simulation and validation. The companies’ collaboration expands to transforming automotive plant design and operations.
GM will use the NVIDIA Omniverse platform to create digital twins of assembly lines, allowing for virtual testing and production simulations to reduce downtime. The initiative will focus on training existing robotics systems used for tasks like material handling, transport, and precision welding to improve safety and efficiency in manufacturing.
GM will also build next-gen vehicles on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX, based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, and run the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS OS. Delivering up to 1,000 trillion operations per second of high-performance computing, this in-vehicle computer can speed the development and deployment of safe AVs at scale.
