NVIDIA has partnered with Joby Aviation, a company developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, to advance autonomous flight technology for urban air mobility. Joby Aviation will be the exclusive aviation launch partner for NVIDIA's newly unveiled IGX Thor platform, which is powered by the innovative NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. This collaboration marks a significant step for NVIDIA into the future of air transportation. The alliance is centered on enhancing Joby's Superpilotâ„¢ autonomous flight system. The goal is to develop aircraft that can operate with high precision and safety in both military and civil applications. NVIDIA's advanced onboard computing power is expected to enable real-time decision-making by interpreting vast amounts of data, which is crucial for achieving certifiable autonomous flight in controlled airspace.
