Based on the reactions of those I saw, getting an autonomous vehicle in San Francisco is just the same as haling an Uber or any other form of transport.

They’ve become so common place, ordinary and in a way, boring, which is a great sign that this technology is ready.

#NVIDIAGTC also gave me an opportunity to take my first spin in one of Waymo’s autonomous cars. These things are incredible.

“Blue” the AI powered robot developed in collaboration with Disney Research and Google Deep Mind (kind of) stole the show

#NVIDIAGTC was the perfect place to tell our tech transformation story.

Specially how Volvo Cars uses an advanced computational technique called Gaussian splats (maybe my favourite tech buzzword ever) to develop safety software.

💡How do you know you’re in the right room?  
 
When on your second day on the job your team decides that we need to make #NVIDIAGTC happen.

As of last week, that’s exactly what we did. It was a blast.

Here are a few, fashionably late, highlights

Next stop #NVIDIAGTC. Who’s out there ?

That’s what made the reveal of the new ES90 such a powerful one. It exemplifies Volvo Cars unique approach to technology. It’s all about using technology with purpose. Rather than as a status symbol.

And here she is.

Congrats to everyone involved in this one. What a monumental effort it was.

I'm fashionably late with this. But last week was one for the memory books.

It was my first time at a Global reveal of a software-defined vehicle, the new ES90.

Being able to deliver a software-defined vehicle is one thing. A HUGE thing.

But understanding why you’re doing it is another.

It's been a big few months at Volvo Cars as we move closer to the reveal of the new ES90.

Here is a top write up on @insideevs.com.

"The ES90 runs on a new, sophisticated electric architecture, making it a total range and charging monster."

A powerful read on Forbes this morning.

Joann Muller of Axios: “[The] friction point is the tech sector likes to ‘move fast and break things,’ [while] cars need to be safe and high-quality. Reconciling the two imperatives isn’t easy.”

➡️ Samsung’s Vision AI ‘the next big thing in television’.

➡️The Swippitt charging station which can fully charge your phone in 5 seconds.

➡️ The world’s first wearable solar panel from Anker (presumably not for UK market)

➡️ And LG’s air purifying cat tower (for the fellow cat lovers)

It also had the usual weird and wonderful innovations which hint to what the future will look like.

➡️ Halliday Smart glasses with a built in AI assistant to assist daily life.

➡️ Mirumi, the shy sloth-like robot, highlights how robots can be designed to interact emotionally with humans.
