“The reality is, everything that moves will be autonomous,” said Danny Shapiro, VP of Automotive at NVIDIA, about the inevitability of self-driving technology at MOVE 2024.
In an exclusive interview, Shapiro detailed NVIDIA’s monumental role in crafting the cars of the future.
Shapiro explained the tech giant is not building the robots nor the cars, but building the core technology for it; providing the base platform essential for autonomous operations.
Broken down into three phases – training AI, testing simulations and finally the computer that actually sits in the car – he claims NVIDIA’s tech plays an integral part in each phase.
Shapiro also stated that the company’s flagship chip, the “Blackwell”, is going to change the game for autonomous vehicles, plus promising new architecture every year in order to keep up with the constantly-evolving AI tech.
Watch the full interview below to hear more about the company’s revolutionary tech and what the future of autonomy could look like.

Article written by Georgia Sweeting and originally published on Total Telecom
We sat in on the 5G and Connectivity track at this year’s tech mobility focussed event MOVE in London, hearing from interesting speakers discussing connectivity in electric vehicle market, and diving into smart city and infrastructure issues that better connectivity can help solve
The first speaker of the day was Marc Sauter, Head of internet of things (IoT) product management at Vodafone, who shared his thoughts on how IoT connectivity can play a critical role in driving innovation and sustainability within the market, and how Vodafone’s IoT solutions are benefitting customers sustainably.
We are given the example of Leaksafe, a UK-based company providing water leak detection and prevention systems in both commercial and residential buildings. They work with the property owners and managers to detect leaks and shut off the water immediately if one is found. Not detecting a leak quick enough can cause significant damage to buildings, which the insurance industry paid out nearly a billion pounds for in 2022.
Vodafone partnered with the company to create a Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) leak detection solution, to stop the small leaks more quickly. This means that leaks and their exact location can be determined immediately. Once the device gets wet, it immediately sends a message to Leaksafe’s data platform using the NB-IoT. The owner or property manager gets an alert through text or an app, and can view the issue in real time through it.
There are thousands of use cases for technology like this, which will increase the efficiency of infrastructure within our cities. “With IoT connectivity, you can connect anything, anywhere at any time, securely simply and at scale to transform businesses,” concluded Sauter.

In the second keynote panel on day two of MOVE 2024, more leaders and agents of change took to the stage to discuss how OEMs are increasingly become software experts in the age of connectivity.
Maria Uvarova, SVP of Software Product Management at Stellantis, explained how modern-day automakers are having to transform themselves into more software-savvy businesses due to the age of the software-defined vehicle.
“We need to acknowledge that OEMs are going through an internal battle with themselves, it remains to be seen whether some of them will survive that battle. It is not enough to recreate a software unit and then claim you make software-defined vehicles. You need to make sure the whole company follows suit,” said the Stellantis SVP.
The other keynote panellists added to this point noting that automakers need to view connectivity as a major organ of the car.
Marcus Welz, CEO of Hyundai Connected Mobility, stressed this with the analogy “the heart of the system sits in the car and the brain of the car sits in the cloud”.
The conversation moved onto the topic of in-car payments and digital wallets with contributions from Ali Almakky Global Head of Payments Solutions, Mobility sector at J.P. Morgan and Nico Kersten, CEO of Mercedes Pay, who disclosed that this is the key to creating seamless and embedded payments.

Day Two at MOVE 2024 has kicked off in the keynote theatre. With an impressive first panel discussing the autonomous vehicle industry of today’s transport system, industry-leaders from Nvidia, Baidu, Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Oxa gathered together to contribute to this topic.
The panel’s main topic for discussion revolved around the question of how self-driving cars can become safe, profitable and efficient for the transport system?
Danny Shapiro, VP of Automotive at Nvidia – the “Taylor Swift of the technology industry” – expressed how his company is at the core of each panellists’ companies: Baidu, Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Oxa.
“Nvidia partners with hundreds of global companies to help with data we are partners, its much more complex than anyone imagines. The software is never going to be done. Just like with your phone, there is always going to be updates. Just like cars, they will just keep getting better and better and better,” said Shapiro from Nvidia.
“There is a lot of testing going on in the UK, Europe, China, the States, it’s coming, everything will be autonomous.”
Helen K. Pan, GM and Board Director from BAIDU Apollo. turned the conversation onto the topic of safety, expressing how 95% of car accidents are reportedly due to human error.
She said: “Safety is the top priority, we want to drive down this statistic, autonomous driving can diversify travel opportunities and make people safer.”
Nils Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions, added that safety can be aided by autonomous vehicles not just on the roads but also in other places. He told how there are many fatalities involved in mining which can be helped through self-driving technology:
“We want to remove the human from that environment and make things safer.”
Paul Newman, President of Oxa, passionately added to the conversation that so much of the vehicle is built around of having humans involved. He made a strong point that we need to change the foundation of having the operator in the vehicle if the industry is going to keep pushing forward.

At MOVE 2024 this morning Dr. James Peng the co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai took to the keynote stage to discuss the future of mobility and emerging power of autonomous vehicles.
With Pony.ai’s driverless robotaxi operations already taking place in California, Arizona and three major cities in China, Peng elaborated on where he is going to expand next.
“There is global demand for cheaper more reliable safer mobility options, currently we are looking in the middle eastern region, we have established a joint venture with NEOM,” said Peng.
Pony.ai received $100m investment from NEOM – Saudi Arabia’s futuristic city and development project – back in November last year after they formed a joint venture.
Peng continued to discuss Pony.ai’s recent European expansion with Luxembourg.
“Europe is a great market but the challenge here is too many countries and too many different types of regulations, our first step into Europe is in Luxembourg.
But why choose why choose Luxembourg?
Peng said: “The European market has huge potential and already has really good public transportation and pre-existing taxi and fleet services. It’s also a small country with an open-minded government. So we can use this as a launch pad go into other countries.”
He also noted the most difficult part of developing autonomous vehicles.
“The most difficult thing about developing autonomous vehicles this the irrational behaviour of people. The potholes, the obstructions can all be detected. Anything static has a way of being dealt with. The irrational behaviour of people requires a decision in the split of a second, once we deal with this we can be more adaptable to other cities.”

MOVE 2024 opened its doors today to the global mobility ecosystem. In the keynote theatre this morning, the first panel brought together industry-leaders who are leading innovation in the sector.
The first panel this morning titled “Driving confidence in EV adoption” was joined by Sainsbury’s, NIO, Octopus Electric Vehicles, Scania, Centrica and National Grid.
From each panellist came a varied rating out of 10 for confidence in European adoption of EV vehicles.
Patrick Dunne, Chief Property & Procurement Officer from Sainsbury’s, claimed he was a 12 on that scale and even claimed that Sainsbury’s operations “will be net-zero by 2035”. He said that consumers and commercial users of EVs might not feel the same.
“The consumer confidence and commercial confidence today is not yet there, thats our job to drive that forwards,” said Dunne from Sainsbury’s.
Rob Simister, a Director at Centrica, claimed that 80% of Centrica’s current company cars are battery EVs, and further claimed that by end of 2025 that number will rise to 100%.
Steve Smith, a President at National Grid, shed light on what the pressures of EV uptake demands from the electrical grid:
“If we try to electrify transport then you probably need a grid four times the size as the one we have today,” said Smith from National Grid.
Kajsa Ivansson Sognefur, Head of Power Europe at NIO, said that her company is trying to aid the grid as much as it can. She detailed how NIO are helping to balance the grid. Their charging tech reportedly reacts accordingly to any changes in the grid to help continue balancing it.
Make sure to tune in all day to the fascination discussions happening every second here at MOVE 2024.
