Volkswagen partners with Porsche, Voxel51, Microsoft and Nvidia on AI data platform for autonomous vehicles

Volkswagen building AI data platform to accelerate autonomous vehicle development

Summary

Volkswagen announced a shared AI data platform at Nvidia GTC Berlin to accelerate autonomous vehicle development through simulation and training. Partnering with Porsche, Voxel51, Microsoft and Nvidia, the initiative aims to reduce physical test drives by up to 90 percent and shorten AI regression testing cycles by up to 85 percent using a "data flywheel" approach.

Implications for data suppliers

RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.

  • Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
  • Compare the reported units and scope before using these quantities in a budget. Recording hours, sensor-hours and trajectories are different measures.
  • Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
