June 12 - Nvidia (NVDA, Financial) CEO Jensen Huang said this decade will be defined by autonomous vehicles, robotics and intelligent machines, according to a Thursday CNBC interview at VivaTech in Paris.
Shares of Nvidia edged down about 1% in early trading as markets weighed broader trade uncertainties, with the comments having little immediate impact on the stock.
Huang noted that self-driving cars are becoming more common in the U.S. and China, while Europe still faces regulatory hurdles for widespread deployment. He highlighted Nvidia's dual role supplying both processors and software platforms for autonomous systems.
The chipmaker is positioning its technology to power next-generation robotics across industries such as manufacturing, logistics and transportation. Huang described “physical AI” as a major growth area, where intelligent machines act independently using Nvidia's compute architecture.
Investors may focus on whether these long-term bets translate into near-term revenue gains. While demand for AI chips remains strong, geopolitical tensions and regulatory shifts could affect rollout timelines. Analysts remain optimistic on Nvidia's market position but caution that stock volatility may persist amid wider economic headwinds.
