Timeline (last 90 days)
Volvo is currently controlled by China's Geely, but its R&D and design remain centered in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Volvo Cars plans to launch a point-to-point hands-off driving feature before 2030, which will be built on Nvidia's latest autonomous driving technology stack.
Volvo defines this point-to-point system as Level 2++, meaning the driver must still remain attentive, but the vehicle can complete continuous driving operations from start to destination under specific conditions, including highway on-ramp merging, lane keeping and automatic lane changes.
Considering its global sales structure, China and Europe are very likely to be the first markets for launch.
Volvo's choice of Nvidia rather than developing its own chips or adopting Chinese suppliers' solutions indicates that Volvo tends to rely on mature third-party platforms for core autonomous driving technology in order to shorten development cycles.
Volvo has not yet announced which model will first carry the system, nor whether it will be launched simultaneously in the Chinese and U.S. markets.
Xie Baojun previously worked for a long time in the Geely system, joined Volvo Cars around 2010, and once served as senior director of software and electronics at Volvo's R&D center and senior director of R&D for Volvo Cars Asia Pacific.
