"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 Mikic, flight research lead at Joby, in a press release. To achieve this, an aircraft needs a powerful onboard computer that can interpret extraordinary amounts of information to make decisions in real-time."
"Combining Nvidia's compute power with our world-class aircraft design, certification and rigorous flight testing capabilities, we're enabling a new era of safety-first autonomy in aviation. Joby is developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi intended to both operate its fast, quiet air taxi service in cities around the world and sell its aircraft to other operators and partners."
Nvidia selected Joby as its only aviation launch partner for the Nvidia IGX Thor platform. Joby will integrate the IGX Thor, powered by Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, to provide industrial-grade onboard computing for its Superpilot autonomous flight system. Superpilot aims to complement human pilots by delivering speed, precision, and stamina and to support certifiable autonomy for near-term defense and long-term civil applications as FAA capabilities evolve. Joby is developing an all-electric VTOL air taxi for urban services and for sale to other operators. Nvidia's platform supports industry-recognized functional safety standards and enables real-time interpretation of large data streams to improve operational safety.
