Additionally, ZF and HELLA have shared a strategic partnership to deliver AI technology with the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) safety certification for the mass deployment of self-driving cars.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen Group has announced a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to apply the powers of AI in its data centres to address a range of enterprise applications and connected services.
