Vehicles That Transform Themselves. Anywhere.
Our patented Swap by AI™ technology enables autonomous vehicles to physically reconfigure themselves—swapping entire passenger and cargo pods using only their own motors, wheels, and AI decision-making. Any flat surface. Any configuration. No dedicated swapping stations required.
Advanced Safety Option: Exit by AI™ can deploy pods away from imminent collisions in milliseconds—the ultimate demonstration of life-saving Physical AI.
Platform Model Offering: We’re not building vehicles. We’re defining the transformation behaviors that make autonomous modular vehicles possible—simulation-native specifications that can be developed in NVIDIA Omniverse, validated through NVIDIA Halos, and deployed on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX.
Physical AI—machines that autonomously manipulate the real world—is projected to create $4 trillion in value by 2030 (McKinsey). In 2025, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicted autonomous vehicles would be “the first multi-trillion-dollar robotics industry.”
NVIDIA’s Alpamayo, unveiled at CES 2026, is the first reasoning AI for autonomous vehicles, built to decompose novel scenarios into familiar components. AV Exit’s transformation behaviors are exactly these novel scenarios; emergency pod separation at highway speed or autonomous coupling in unstructured environments represent edge cases reasoning models must navigate, yet cannot learn from real-world data.
Why Swap by AI™ & Exit by AI™ Matter:
• Simulation-Native: These behaviors can only be developed through synthetic data generation in environments like NVIDIA Cosmos—no real-world training data yet exists for autonomous pod separation and swapping
• No Dedicated Facilities: Solves the billion-dollar swapping station problem that limits competitors
• Platform Play: Behavioral specifications licensable across all OEMs and fleet operators through NVIDIA’s ecosystem
• Solid IP: Two issued patents with no competing solutions
The Opportunity:
Transformation behaviors offer Omniverse a validation domain that standard driving simulation cannot—physics scenarios that have never been attempted in the real world, where simulation isn’t a shortcut but the only path.
Korea’s National Physical AI Cluster—anchored by the NVIDIA-Hyundai partnership announced October 2025—creates the perfect validation pathway. Hyundai Motor Group and South Korea’s government are co-investing approximately $3 billion in facilities and computing infrastructure; NVIDIA contributes its technology platforms—Omniverse, Cosmos, DRIVE AGX Thor—and expertise.
That partnership already encompasses Kia, whose PBV line features modular platforms with swappable pods. Today, Kia’s “Easy Swap” system requires dedicated conversion centers for pod exchange—infrastructure costs that scale to billions as PBV goes autonomous. Swap by AI™ enables autonomous coupling anywhere, no depot required. Acquiring AV Exit’s behavioral IP gives NVIDIA the intelligence layer to bring to its Korean partnership: the missing piece that makes modular autonomy economically viable at scale.
Swap by AI™ Core Capability
Autonomous pod swapping using the vehicle’s own systems:
• AI analyzes environment and calculates approach • Motors and wheels execute precise alignment • Automated connection/disconnection sequence • Complete verification through sensor fusion
Works Anywhere: Driveways, parking lots, roadsides—any reasonably flat surface becomes a reconfiguration point. No dedicated swapping infrastructure required.
The Three-Computer Architecture: Transformation behaviors require NVIDIA’s complete Physical AI stack—training on DGX, simulation in Omniverse and Cosmos, deployment on DRIVE AGX. This isn’t optional infrastructure; it’s the only way to develop behaviors for scenarios that have never been attempted in the physical world.
Exit by AI™ Advanced Safety
Optional emergency deployment capability:
• Collision prediction in <50 milliseconds • Autonomous pod separation • Physics-based occupant protection • Validation through NVIDIA Halos safety framework
