“Not only does it take sensor input and activates steering wheel, brakes and acceleration, it also reasons about what action it is about to take,” Huang said, teeing up a video showing a vehicle smoothly navigating busy San Francisco traffic.
Huang announced the first passenger car featuring Alpamayo built on NVIDIA DRIVE full-stack autonomous vehicle platform will be on the roads soon in the all‑new Mercedes‑Benz CLA — with AI‑defined driving coming to the U.S. this year, and follows the CLA’s recent EuroNCAP five‑star safety rating.
Huang also highlighted growing momentum behind DRIVE Hyperion , the open, modular, level‑4‑ready platform adopted by leading automakers, suppliers and robotaxi providers worldwide.
“Our vision is that, someday, every single car, every single truck will be autonomous, and we’re working toward that future,” Huang said.
Huang was then joined on stage by a pair of tiny beeping, booping, hopping robots as he explained how NVIDIA’s full‑stack approach is fueling a global physical AI ecosystem .
Huang rolled a video showing how robots are trained in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab in photorealistic, simulated worlds — before highlighting the work of partners in physical AI across the industry, including Synopsys and Cadence, Boston Dynamics and Franka, and more.
Huang also appeared with Siemens CEO Roland Busch at the company’s Tuesday keynote to announce an expanded partnership , supported by a montage showing how NVIDIA’s full stack integrates with Siemens’ industrial software, enabling physical AI from design and simulation through production.
“These manufacturing plants are going to be essentially giant robots,” Huang said at NVIDIA’s presentation on Monday.
Huang explained that NVIDIA builds entire systems now because it takes a full, optimized stack to deliver AI breakthroughs.
“Our job is to create the entire stack so that all of you can create incredible applications for the rest of the world,” he said.
On Monday evening, NVIDIA announced DLSS 4.5 , which introduces Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, a new 6X Multi Frame Generation mode and a second-generation transformer model for DLSS Super Resolution, so gamers can experience the latest and greatest titles with enhanced performance and visuals.
