preview

Why it matters: Self-driving technology won't arrive in a snap. Instead, it will roll out gradually through periodic software updates, similar to the way people refresh their smartphones. It's a fundamental shift in thinking that will extend the life of cars, and allow even used-car buyers to get the latest technologies.The big picture: Tesla already enables over-the-air updates on its vehicles, a benefit of designing its automotive computing platform from scratch.Details: The new AI computing infrastructure will be rolled out across Mercedes' entire fleet of models, starting in 2024.The backdrop: Mercedes' partnership with Nvidia comes less than a week after the German automaker abandoned what was meant to be a long-term collaboration with BMW to develop next-generation automated driving technology.What to watch: If cars can be perpetually updated, there's less of an incentive to replace them. Carmakers will need to ensure the revenue stream from those software updates is sufficient to make up for lower vehicle turnover.
