Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
Driving the news: Nvidia $NVDA ( ▲ 1.72% ) CEO Jensen Huang predicted the next few years will be "the decade of AV, robotics, autonomous machines" during a CNBC interview at the Viva Tech conference in Paris.
For context: Speaking with Arjun Kharpal on Thursday, Huang highlighted how autonomous vehicles are becoming more common in the U.S. and China.
Google's Waymo is running robotaxi services in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, while Chinese companies like Baidu and Pony.ai operate their own fleets.
Nvidia supplies both hardware and software for these self-driving systems.
Why it matters: The technology is clearly gaining momentum, but adoption varies dramatically by region. Europe lags behind due to unclear regulations, though things are starting to change.
What we're watching: For Nvidia, which makes money on both the chips and software powering these systems, widespread AV adoption would represent an astronomical growth opportunity.
