Mercedes will continue its strategic partnership with Nvidia

Mercedes plans to continue its partnership with Nvidia, the US chipmaker, despite controversy involving its chief.

The German carmaker says the cooperation is a long-term strategic technology partnership that has been expanding since 2020.

Nvidia is Mercedes’ most important partner for automated driving, according to Mercedes’ development chief.

The companies also work together on driver-assistance systems, which help drivers with tasks such as monitoring the road.

Mercedes is more dependent on Nvidia than any other German carmaker, making a change of partner difficult.

The companies recently showed their strengthened cooperation at a German government investment summit in Berlin.

Mercedes says joint projects will continue, and the companies are working closely together.
