​ Physical AI is unlocking new possibilities at the intersection of autonomy and robotics — accelerating, in particular, the development of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The right technology and frameworks are crucial to ensuring the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians. 

That’s why NVIDIA announced NVIDIA Halos at GTC 2025. Halos is a comprehensive safety system bringing together NVIDIA’s lineup of automotive hardware and software safety solutions with its cutting-edge AI research in AV safety.

Halos spans across chips and software to tools and services to help ensure safe development of AVs from the cloud to the car, with a focus on AI-based end-to-end AV stacks.

Serving as an entry point to Halos is the NVIDIA AI Systems Inspection Lab, which allows automakers and developers to verify the safe integration of their products with NVIDIA technology. 

The AI Systems Inspection Lab is the first worldwide program to be accredited by the ANAB | ANSI National Accreditation Board for an inspection plan integrating functional safety, cybersecurity, AI safety and regulations into a unified safety framework. Inaugural members of the AI Systems Inspection Lab include Ficosa, OMNIVISION, onsemi, and Continental,

Halos brings together a vast amount of safety-focused technology research, development, deployment, partnerships and collaborations by NVIDIA, including:

* 15,000+ engineering years invested in vehicle safety 
* 10,000+ hours of contributions to international standards committees
* 1,000+ AV-safety patents filed
* 240+ AV-safety research papers published
* 30+ safety and cybersecurity certificates

It also dovetails with recent significant safety certifications and assessments of NVIDIA automotive products, including:

* The NVIDIA DriveOS 6.0 operating system conforms with ISO 26262 automotive safety integrity level (ASIL D) standards.
* TÜV SÜD granted the ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity Process certification to NVIDIA for its automotive SoC, platform and software engineering processes. 
* TÜV Rheinland performed an independent safety assessment of NVIDIA DRIVE AV for the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe related to safety requirements for complex electronic systems.
