Nvidia, a leading company in accelerated computing, has selected Joby as its only aviation launch partner for its new platform, Nvidia IGX Thor, in a move Joby believes will advance its own autonomous flight technology, Superpilot.
“The autonomous systems under development at Joby are poised to complement human intelligence by providing speed, precision and stamina beyond what a person alone is capable of,” said Gregor Veble Mikić, flight research lead at Joby, in a press release. “To achieve this, an aircraft needs a powerful onboard computer that can interpret extraordinary amounts of information to make decisions in real-time. Combining Nvidia’s compute power with our world-class aircraft design, certification and rigorous flight testing capabilities, we’re enabling a new era of safety-first autonomy in aviation.”
