3DExperience WORLD 2026: At the buzzing stage of 3DExperience WORLD 2026 in Houston, Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, said the world is moving rapidly toward software-defined vehicles, and the industry must be ready for that shift. Standing alongside Pascal Daloz, CEO, Dassault Systèmes, Huang made it clear that the future of mobility will be imagined in software long before it touches the road.
The message from both the leaders was loud and clear: the automobile is no longer just a machine, it’s a computer on wheels, and these two companies are leading this shift. Huang also praised Dassault Systèmes for its leadership in virtual twin technology, calling it a cornerstone of modern automotive development.

According to him, the partnership between Nvidia and Dassault is unique because it reimagines how technology is used, not just to design vehicles, but to simulate, validate, and perfect them digitally. “You’re not just building cars,” Huang noted, “you’re building world-class products in a virtual world first.”
With modern-day cars becoming more and more technology-forward, more specifically electric vehicles, dependency on semiconductors is on the rise. NVIDIA’s role in the automotive industry has grown far beyond graphics.

Its platforms now power AI-driven autonomous systems, digital cockpits, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and full-scale vehicle simulations. On the other hand, Dassault Systèmes is helping auto brands improve their product lifecycle.
Through its virtual twin platforms, automakers can design vehicles, factories, and even supply chains in a single digital environment. Pascal Daloz reiterated that India is a particularly important market for Dassault, especially in the automotive segment, as companies accelerate EV and software-led innovation.
