GM's path to the future gets an AI infusion from NVIDIA
At a time when artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the world, General Motors is embracing it to enhance manufacturing, to revolutionize vehicle technology, and to build smarter vehicles and exceptional customer experiences. As part of this transformation, General Motors is developing a unified and updatable software platform across their vehicle lineup, including smaller vehicles such as the Chevrolet Equinox EV and full-scale trucks. Today, General Motors unveiled an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to develop next-generation vehicles, factories, and robotics using AI simulation and accelerated computing. GM already has been investing in NVIDIA GPU platforms for AI model training. Now, they're extending this relationship to improve automotive plant design and operations. Using the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform, they're creating digital twins of assembly lines, enabling virtual testing and production simulations to reduce downtime. They will also use NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for in-vehicle hardware for future advanced driver-assistance systems and in-cabin enhanced safety driving experiences. Additionally, General Motors is applying AI to robotics platforms for precision welding and material handling and transport, while improving manufacturing efficiency, freeing their workforce to focus on the craftsmanship that customers love about GM vehicles. Better together In the past, a vehicle's central control unit, or VCU, was sufficient for basic features like Bluetooth calls or screen navigation. But car buyers now expect more customization and convenience – and GM has reimagined their electrical architecture in response. The integration of vehicle hardware and software will make their cars far more capable and flexible. Indeed, they're well underway in developing a unified and updatable software platform for everything from smaller vehicles like the Chevrolet Equinox and their full-scale truck portfolio. In the years ahead, cars will have features you could have never before imagined. Already you can do things like stream movies in your car, use your vehicle to power your campsite, and transform your ride into a theater with Dolby Atmos surround sound. You can drive with your hands off the wheel under certain conditions in properly equipped vehicles – and eventually you should be able to take your eyes off the road under appropriate circumstances. Software will help unlock many new capabilities, as GM's vehicles send regular over-the-air updates, improving the customer experience for vehicles already on the road. Super Cruise, GM's advanced driver assistance system, is just one example of what's possible with software-defined vehicles. In 2017, GM became the first automaker to offer hands-free driving globally, and they've since added features like hands-free trailering and automatic lane changes. And more capabilities are coming, like better integration with navigation. New frontiers In the future, General Motors expects to launch personal autonomous vehicles, or PAVs, with the ability to take you wherever you want to go without a human driver. As they enhance driver-assistance features and introduce advanced levels of autonomy, a sophisticated electrical architecture with high-performance computing becomes critical. The work GM is doing with companies like NVIDIA adds agility to their already highly sophisticated vehicle design, engineering, and manufacturing processes. By further integrating physical and industrial AI applications (including digital twins, simulation, and robotics) they continue to optimize manufacturing, accelerate virtual testing, and ultimately build smarter, more connected vehicles for their customers. Harnessing the latest technologies will help General Motors to lead the industry in offering a wide range of reliable and high quality EVs and gas vehicles. By merging technology with human ingenuity, they're unlocking new frontiers in vehicle manufacturing and beyond. Automatic Lane Change and Lane Change on Demand are not available while trailering. Always pay attention while driving and when using Super Cruise. Do not use a hand-held device. Requires active Super Cruise plan or trial. Terms apply.

Is SoundHound Stock a Buy as Nvidia's GTC Kicks Off This Week?
As Nvidia's (NVDA) highly anticipated GPU Technology Conference (GTC) takes place this week, investor attention has turned to SoundHound AI (SOUN), a voice AI specialist that has experienced dramatic market volatility over the past year. Despite plunging over 50% year-to-date following Nvidia's exit from its investment position, SoundHound remains up more than 15% over the trailing 12 months. SoundHound's participation at GTC 2025 is pivotal, showcasing its cutting-edge voice AI innovations for automotive applications and its strategic collaboration with Nvidia to integrate large language model capabilities into the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform. With its next-generation in-vehicle voice assistant leveraging generative AI at the edge and the first-ever in-car voice commerce ecosystem, SoundHound is positioning itself at the intersection of AI, automotive technology, and consumer convenience. With GTC 2025 ongoing, investors must consider whether SoundHound's technological advancements and industry partnerships can overcome the negative sentiment generated by Nvidia's divestment. Is SoundHound AI Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Valued at a market capitalization of $3.8 billion, SoundHound AI has a 20-year history of developing proprietary technology that enables natural conversational interactions between humans and machines. Over the years, it has evolved from a voice recognition startup to a comprehensive AI platform provider with three distinct revenue pillars driving its growth trajectory. In Q4, SoundHound reported record quarterly revenue of $34.5 million, representing a 101% year-over-year increase, capping off a year of 85% growth. The company has dramatically reduced its customer concentration risk, with its largest customer now representing only 14% of revenue compared to nearly 50% in 2023. SoundHound's business model encompasses three strategic pillars. The first focuses on voice-enabling products like automobiles and internet of things (IoT) devices through licensing and royalty agreements. SoundHound has secured relationships with 20 automotive brands and sees substantial growth potential as it currently represents only 3%-5% of its customers' production volume, with ambitions to reach 40%-45%. Pillar two now comprises two-thirds of SoundHound's revenue and centers on subscription-based AI customer service solutions. The company has made significant inroads in the restaurant industry, with over 10,000 locations using its technology for drive-thru and phone ordering. Through its acquisition of Amelia, SoundHound has expanded into healthcare, financial services, government, and recently, the energy sector with a new seven-figure deal. At CES 2025, SoundHound unveiled its third pillar, a voice commerce ecosystem that connects voice-enabled products with services. This approach allows users powered by SoundHound's technology to interact with businesses using its AI customer service, creating monetization opportunities for all stakeholders. What's Next for the AI Stock? SoundHound's technological differentiation stems from its proprietary 'speech-to-meaning' approach, which processes speech and derives meaning simultaneously rather than converting speech to text first. Its Polaris foundation model reportedly outperforms Google's (GOOG) (GOOGL) speech recognition by over 20% in accuracy while delivering four times better latency. With $198 million in cash, no debt, and a path to positive adjusted EBITDA by the end of 2025, SoundHound has raised its 2025 revenue outlook to between $157 million and $177 million. As conversations become the next frontier in human-computer interaction, SoundHound is well-positioned to capitalize on its first-mover advantage in what CEO Keyvan Mohajer describes as 'the killer app' of the generative AI revolution. Analysts expect SoundHound AI to increase sales from $84.69 million in 2024 to $215 million in 2026. In this period, its losses per share are forecast to narrow from $1.04 to $0.20. Moreover, the company is forecast to end 2026 with free cash flow of $50 million, compared to an outflow of $55 million in 2025. So, priced at 72x forward FCF, the AI stock is quite expensive. Of the six analysts covering SoundHound AI, three recommend 'Strong Buy,' and three recommend 'Hold.' The average target price for SOUN stock is $14.67, indicating an upside potential of over 52% from current levels.
