“We are delighted to partner with NIO, a leader in the new energy vehicle revolution—leveraging the power of AI to create the software-defined EV fleets of the future,” Nvidia founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, stated.
NIO CEO William Li mentioned, “The cooperation of NIO and NVIDIA will accelerate the development of autonomous driving on smart vehicles.”
NIO shares closed at $58.92 on Friday after an 8.55% move, briefly making a new all-time high at $59.31, and with Saturday’s announcement, its stock price is expected to make positive gains as investors eye up an EV company to take on Tesla.
Nvidia shares didn’t see much action during the Friday session and closed down 0.55%. However, it would be no surprise to see its stock price also rise after the NIO deal announcement.
