Joby Aviation Teams Up with NVIDIA to Advance Autonomous Flight Technology
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – Joby Aviation, a leading developer of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the development of its autonomous flight technology, Superpilot™. Joby will be the aviation launch partner for NVIDIA’s new IGX Thor platform, which is powered by the company’s cutting-edge Blackwell architecture.
The collaboration aims to leverage the IGX Thor platform’s high-performance computing capabilities to enhance the safety, reliability, and performance of Joby’s autonomous systems. These systems are designed to complement human pilots by providing speed, precision, and stamina.
“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.
The IGX Thor platform’s support for industry recognized functional safety standards will allow Joby to pursue certified autonomy, which is important for civil and military applications. The partnership will help Joby meet requirements for safety-critical applications.
Joby plans to both operate its own air taxi service in cities around the world and sell its aircraft to other operators.
