LONDON — Jaguar Land Rover mentioned on Tuesday it’s opening three new engineering hubs in Europe to develop autonomous car applied sciences as a part of its partnership with Silicon Valley synthetic intelligence firm Nvidia.
The hubs in Munich, Bologna and Madrid will develop self-driving techniques for JLR’s subsequent era of luxurious autos. JLR already has six world tech hubs within the U.S., China and Europe.
JLR, a unit of India’s Tata Motors, mentioned the areas had been chosen due to the native availability of digital engineering specialists and can create nearly 100 engineering jobs targeted “on creating driver help techniques and synthetic intelligence for self-driving vehicles of the long run.”
JLR and Nvidia introduced a multiyear settlement final yr below which they’ll collectively develop the pc brains and AI techniques for Jaguars and Land Rovers launching in 2025 and past.
The partnership with Nvidia offers JLR a well-funded ally because it tries to meet up with Tesla and different rivals in digital expertise.
