"The U.S. automaker, which unveiled its plans at an event Wednesday in New York City, said a new electric architecture and centralized computing platform will be the foundation for all of its future gas-powered and electric vehicles, starting in 2028. The next-generation supercomputer, Nvidia Drive AGX Thor, will power the compute unit - the result of an expanded partnership between GM and Nvidia that was announced in March."
"GM Chief Product Officer Sterling Anderson said he's been focused on accelerating the rollout of this new architecture since joining the company in May because it "brings a lot of goodness," like bandwidth and a "dramatic increase in the compute." It's part of Anderson's broader goal of getting technologically advanced products into consumers' hands faster. "Going forward, on the core business, my focus has really been around speed, user experience of the product, and profitability," Anderson told TechCrunch."
General Motors will introduce a new electric architecture and centralized computing platform as the foundation for future gas-powered and electric vehicles beginning in 2028. The compute unit will be powered by Nvidia Drive AGX Thor under an expanded GM–Nvidia partnership. The first vehicle to showcase the overhaul will be the 2027 Cadillac Escalade IQ. New capabilities include faster software, over-the-air updates, a conversational AI assistant, and automated highway driving features that enable more in-car services and safety improvements. The initiative aims to accelerate product delivery, improve user experience, and boost competitiveness against Tesla and Chinese automakers.
