INDIA's Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has formed a strategic partnership with US-based chipmaker Nvidia to develop and deliver automated driving systems and AI-enabled services, reported The Times. 

According to the report, the new collaboration is for vehicles launching in 2025 and beyond. However, the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The partnership will allow Nvidia Corp to expand its reach in the auto industry, building on its base in gaming, artificial intelligence and high-powered chips and software used in servers.

The Times reported that the move will help Jaguar Land Rover to catch up with Tesla and other rivals in a digital technology race.

This month SoftBank Group shelved its sale of Arm to Nvidia in a deal valued at up to $80 billion citing regulatory hurdles.

Under the new arrangement, JLR plans to develop vehicles that can drive themselves under certain conditions, park autonomously and provide more information and software-powered features to drivers, the companies said.

The British carmaker plans to use Nvidia technology to power simulations used to train autonomous vehicles.

Jaguar has a previous deal with Alphabet’s Waymo unit to deploy autonomous driving technology.

A company official said that the Waymo collaboration was limited to the Jaguar I-Pace electric SUV. However, the Nvidia alliance covers all Jaguar and Land Rover models to be launched from 2025.

Nvidia announced deals with several Chinese electric vehicle brands last month. The company has said it has $8 billion in automotive business booked over the next six years.

Recently, Nvidia reported that fourth-quarter net income rose to about $3 billion from $2.5bn a year ago and forecast first-quarter revenue of $8.1bn, compared with estimates of $7.3bn, The Times report added.

Recession fears grow in UK as Iran conflict threatens £35bn economic hit

  • Energy shock linked to Iran conflict may shrink UK economy by £35bn
  • Recession risk grows if oil prices spike further
  • Interest rates expected to rise as inflation pressures build

The UK economy is staring at a potential £35bn setback, with recession fears building as the Iran conflict drives up energy prices and inflation. Fresh warnings from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research suggest the fallout could slow growth sharply and leave households and businesses under renewed financial strain. The energy crisis linked to the Iran conflict has become a central concern, with inflation pressures and rising borrowing costs threatening to reshape the UK’s economic outlook.

Brent crude has already climbed to around £89 ($111) a barrel, and in a more severe scenario, it could reach £112 ($140). That kind of increase could push inflation above 5 per cent, significantly higher than earlier expectations, and force stronger intervention from the Bank of England. The knock-on effect could be a slowdown in economic activity, with some forecasts suggesting the risk of a recession in the latter half of the year if pressures continue to build.
