- ES90 will be the first Volvo to use AGX Orin fleas
- The “superset stack” facilitates 508 billions of operations per second
- Ex90 SUV will also be upgraded to a new system on a chip
Volvo announced that its next ES90, a Super-Souleek electric sedan which should be fully revealed on March 5, will be the most powerful car that it has ever created in terms of basic computer capacity.
Hot on the heels of the SUV Ex90 at seven-seater, which was the first Volvo All-Electric to make its debut on the IT platform of Nvidia reader with Xavier and Orin System-on-A-Chip (SOC), the Next ES90 will hire a double AGX Orin Configuration – The bleeding edge of NVIDIA automotive technology.
Aside from the slightly confusing names, Volvo affirms that its technological battery Superset is now capable of performing 508 billions of operations per second (summit), as opposed to the 250 summits available in the ex90.
“This allows us to further increase the bar on security and overall performance thanks to data, software and AI,” explains Volvo.
In simple terms, this additional computing power will allow Swedish company to further exploit the advanced levels of AI to help things such as the management and efficiency of batteries, as well as carrying out its high safety ambitions.
The Volvo Ex90 was promised to be launched with the latest safety systems of the automaker, which take flow of cameras, ultrasonic sensors, radar and a cutting -edge luminar liminar system to create a 360 -degree view of the world, regardless of the time of day.
Unfortunately, the system was not ready at the time of launch and, instead, the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) team decided that it would be preferable to introduce the security systems as a live day in due time. Many of these features have still not materialized.
However, Volvo said that all of its next electric vehicles will now use this Superset technological battery, which will allow the company to “stimulate the performance of each car in the range simultaneously”.
Reading between the lines, it seems that the advanced levels of computing power of the ES90 will allow Volvo to introduce its above -mentioned space technology, which is designed to avoid accidents and dangers on the road, much more Early and more vehicles in a quick quick to strike software update.
Consequently, the Swedish company said that the AGX Orin Dual Nvidia Drive configuration will be implemented on all ex90 cars and that existing customers will obtain the upgrade of equipment for free.
A generous movement on the Volvo Front or an admission that its existing NVIDIA configuration was not really powerful enough to make its vision of level 3 SAE autonomous driving and the next generation of security systems? You decide.

Although we are still far from SAE level 4 or even fully autonomous driving, Volvo believes that ridiculous levels of computing power and the latest detection technology suite separates its cars from the competition.
During a conversation during the launch of Volvo Ex90, the avoidance of developers of senior functions (alias man adas) of the brand, Martin Magnusson, told me that modern security systems are so nannating, there has a real risk that risks at risk extinguishing them.
Instead, he believes that by allowing AI to scrink the data trains provided by cameras, sensors and radar, this will allow the car to really “a pair of additional eyes “, As he says.
With the new levels of basic calculation power, the advanced Volvo safety suite can constantly scan their environment, keeping an eye on pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users and predict what they will do – rather What to simply react at the last minute with intrusive emergency braking measures.
“We want to completely exclude ghost braking situations or these experiences where security systems intervene without reason,” said Magnusson.
These are fascinating stuff and a completely new approach to security, which has generally seen the manufacturers stack on technology in order to hit Euro NCAP and other safety standards, rather than sit and decide if that Works, or adds value.
With the massive quantity of computing power now offered by Nvidia, it seems that Volvo could finally make its vision of new generation automobile security a reality.
