MotorTrend is live blogging from Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference 2024. Why? Because Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Polestar, and Volvo are all here, alongside some of the biggest names in tech. You probably know Nvidia from your personal computer, especially if you’re a gamer, as its GeForce graphical processing units have helped revolutionize the realistic look and feel of video games over the last 25 years.
One journalist asked about China, the geopolitical tensions with America, the competition between the countries across the tech industry, and how this affects Nvidia’s path forward. Huang was very clear in his answer, saying Nvidia needs to first “make sure we understand the policies and that we’re compliant.” Then, “do everything we can to create more resilience in our supply chain,” said Huang.
"Jensen, during your keynote address at GTC 2024, you announced that BYD will be adopting Nvidia’s latest Drive Thor, Isaac robotics, and Omniverse platforms. This is alongside other partnerships that have been already announced between Nvidia and Chinese carmakers, including Xpeng, Li Auto, Great Wall Motors, and more.
