{"title": "NVIDIA Collaborates with Bolt to Develop Self-Driving Taxis Across Europe", "body": ["During the GTC 2026 event, NVIDIA and Bolt revealed a collaborative effort aimed at mutual benefits. Bolt will leverage NVIDIA's advanced tools, which would otherwise be expensive and challenging to develop independently. In return, NVIDIA secures a significant client while obtaining valuable insights from the European ride-hailing firm's operational driving records."], ["According to Bolt, its collection of vehicle data will form the core of an AI training system for self-driving cars, powered by NVIDIA's solutions. The firm plans to employ NVIDIA Cosmos for organizing and querying this data. Additionally, it will utilize NVIDIA Omniverse to create virtual replicas of actual driving experiences, followed by further application of Cosmos to expand and enhance datasets on a large scale."], ["The Alpamayo AI framework from NVIDIA, tailored for autonomous driving applications, will assist in teaching the system to navigate European urban environments securely and effectively. Bolt intends to incorporate NVIDIA's Drive Hyperion system directly into its autonomous fleet."], ["'Self-driving cars demand an integrated strategy that merges artificial intelligence frameworks, powerful computing resources, and reliable sensor systems,' stated Philippe Van Den Berge, Vice President of Automotive for NVIDIA's EMEA region. 'Integrating Bolt's practical driving information with the NVIDIA Drive Hyperion architecture, supporting AI tools, and accessible frameworks and toolsets from Omniverse, Cosmos, and Alpamayo allows us to establish a flexible base for reliable, efficient self-driving transport options suited to the varied challenges of roadways in Europe.'"], ["Bolt has actively prepared for the rollout of driverless technology. Toward the end of 2025, it formed alliances with Pony.ai and Stellantis."], ["No specific schedule has been shared by the partners for the debut of Bolt's NVIDIA-enhanced self-driving taxis on European streets. That said, they assure that the data from Bolt's vehicles will adhere to GDPR regulations. Furthermore, they commit to offering open-source availability of this data to academic institutions and SMEs in Europe."]]}
