""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, 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 its Superpilot autonomous flight technology to interact with the world through a continuum of autonomous functions. Nvidia's support for industry recognized functional safety standards on the IGX Thor platform allows Joby to pursue certifiable autonomy for near-term defense and long-term civil applications as the Federal Aviation Administration advances the capabilities of national airspace, according to Joby Aviation."
Nvidia selected Joby as its only aviation launch partner for the Nvidia IGX Thor platform to bring high-performance onboard computing to Joby’s Superpilot autonomy. Joby is developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi for urban passenger service and aircraft sales to other operators. The IGX Thor platform, powered by Nvidia Blackwell architecture, is an industrial-grade solution for physical AI that supports industry functional safety standards. That safety-capable computing enables pursuit of certifiable autonomy for near-term defense and long-term civil operations as the FAA advances national airspace capabilities, improving real-time decision-making and operational safety.
