At the GTC 2025 conference, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang emphasized the pivotal role of the AlexNet neural network in shaping the company's push into autonomous vehicles. He reminisced about the moment AlexNet attained remarkable accuracy in image recognition, sparking a resurgence in deep learning. This breakthrough inspired Nvidia to fully invest in self-driving technology, leading to longstanding partnerships with major automotive players such as GM, Tesla, and Toyota. The company's innovations, from digital twins to advanced chip technology, are significant in the industry’s evolution toward autonomous driving.
"The moment I saw AlexNet was such an inspiring moment, such an exciting moment. It caused us to decide to go all in on building self-driving cars."
"We've been working on self-driving cars now for over a decade. We build technology that almost every single self-driving car company uses."
