NVIDIA Halos is a full-stack, comprehensive safety system that unifies safety elements across vehicle architecture, AI models, chips, software, tools, and services to ensure the safe development and deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) from cloud to car.
The system covers the full development lifecycle with design-time, deployment-time, and validation-time guardrails that collectively build safety and explainability into AI-based AV stacks. These guardrails are implemented using three powerful computers—NVIDIA DGX™ for model training, NVIDIA Omniverse™ and Cosmos™ for simulation, and NVIDIA DRIVE AGX™ for deployment. At the heart of the vehicle, NVIDIA Halos OS provides the unified software foundation necessary to bridge these AI capabilities with production-ready safety.
NVIDIA Halos complements existing industry-standard safety practices, while introducing unique elements for autonomous vehicles. This ensures regulatory compliance and advances safe and reliable AV stacks, together with NVIDIA’s Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab.
Halos is also extending its comprehensive safety framework beyond AVs to robotics, further enhancing the reliability and safety of intelligent systems.
