Plus and NVIDIA Collaborate to Advance AI for Level 4 Autonomous Trucks With Large-Scale World Models
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Plus, a global leader in AI-based autonomous trucking software, is collaborating with NVIDIA to integrate NVIDIA Cosmos™ world foundation models (WFMs) to accelerate the development of Plus's SuperDrive™ end-to-end virtual driver for factory-built Level 4 self-driving trucks that will revolutionize the transportation industry.
Plus is a pioneer of AV 2.0 technologies, which comprise generative AI, visual language models and other foundational models. By combining deep networks with explainable systems, Plus's AI-based SuperDrive self-driving solution, which is built on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform, achieves superior performance while ensuring robustness and safety. SuperDrive has been selected by three of the world's most trusted commercial vehicle manufacturers, including TRATON GROUP (Scania, MAN, and International), IVECO and Hyundai, to power their autonomous journey.
As Plus continues to advance SuperDrive toward its commercial launch on factory-built driverless trucks by 2027, it will now also post-train Cosmos Predict WFM to enhance application-specific world foundation models with strong generalization capabilities for never encountered scenarios. These world models will enable Plus to accelerate the commercial readiness of its in-vehicle technology and validation of new commercial routes.
"Our AI breakthroughs continue to accelerate the safe and scalable deployment of factory-built driverless trucks with our global OEM partners," said David Liu, CEO of Plus. "Integrating NVIDIA technology helps us extend the generalization capabilities of our driving models so that our virtual driver can handle all driving scenarios. It's an exciting time to be working on autonomous trucks, the most consequential application of AI."
"NVIDIA Cosmos state-of-the-art world foundation models will democratize physical AI and enable large-scale autonomous transportation," said Norm Marks, Vice President of Automotive, NVIDIA "This platform will empower leading innovators like Plus to accelerate the development of safe, reliable, and highly performant AI systems in safety-critical transportation segments, including trucking."
