European automakers and mobility providers are using NVIDIA Hyperion and Halos to develop Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous vehicles and robotaxi fleets. Named participants include Bolt with Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Einride, and Volvo Cars. Einride plans to evaluate NVIDIA’s Alpamayo reasoning driving model on Hyperion, initially in shadow mode using proprietary operational data, with live road evaluation planned for the second half of 2027. Aptiv is also integrating Hyperion and Halos into a modular architecture intended to lower automated-driving system costs, including through air-cooled Thor-based platforms.
