NVIDIA DRIVE AI car computers use deep learning to process data from multiple cameras, radar, LIDAR and other sensors throughout the vehicle. To deliver Level 4 and Level 5 driving – which is categorized as a fully autonomous vehicle – hundreds of trillions of deep learning operations per second (TOPS) need to receive and process sensor data and immediately communicate critical decisions throughout the vehicle’s systems. For example, the DRIVE Xavier processor parses all the information to understand a full 360-degree perception around the vehicle, and determine the presence and movement of pedestrians, other vehicles and objects as it plans a safe path forward. The Aquantia Ethernet products communicate the data and decisions back and forth throughout the system at 10Gbps over automotive Ethernet cables to help provide a seamless autonomous experience.
“The NVIDIA DRIVE platform uses redundant and diverse functions to achieve the highest level of safety, for which Multi-Gig connectivity is an absolute necessity,” said Faraj Aalaei, Chairman and CEO of Aquantia Corp. “Aquantia was the first to drive the standards that introduced Multi-Gig connectivity into other markets, and we have maintained a leadership position while transitioning those markets to higher speeds. We are pleased to collaborate with NVIDIA to be the first to provide this crucial building block to the automotive industry to enable a safe self-driving experience.”
“Each autonomous vehicle is a moving, self-contained data center, powered by an energy-efficient AI supercomputer that you can hide in the trunk,” said Gary Hicok, senior vice president of hardware development at NVIDIA. “To achieve a safe self-driving experience, we require secure, reliable, redundant Multi-Gig networks to move vast amounts of data.”
Multi-Gig Ethernet For Automotive
Autonomous-driving is creating a paradigm shift in the automotive industry with a very stringent set of requirements, from the high-resolution cameras to the need for redundant and secure networks, running on reliable and low-cost cabling. As a result, the industry has identified Multi-Gig Ethernet over copper as the most promising technology to deliver connectivity for in-vehicles networks. Raymond James estimates that the silicon content related to autonomous-driving will represent a TAM of $30 billion by 20301. Each of these vehicles can have up to fifty units of networking silicon.

Rubedo’s RLS-1496 Reduces Actinic Keratosis Pre-Cancerous Skin Lesions by 46% at Four Weeks with Minimal Irritation in Preliminary Results of Phase 1b/2a Study28.5.2026 15:30:00 EEST | Press release
Rubedo Life Sciences, Inc. (Rubedo), an AI-driven, clinical-stage biotech focused on selective cellular rejuvenation medicines targeting aging cells, today announced preliminary results from a Phase 1b/2a study of RLS-1496 in patients with actinic keratosis (AK), a common age-related condition resulting in precancerous skin lesions, that is most commonly seen after age 65.1 The open-label multi-center trial, conducted in the United States, assessed the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of RLS-1496 1% cream in adult patients with AK on the forearms. RLS-1496 is the first selective glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) modulator to be studied in human trials, and the first targeting cellular rejuvenation as a new therapeutic pathway in a novel category called Adaptive SenoTherapeutics. Interim data from the study were presented at the RBC Capital Markets Global Healthcare Conference in New York City on May 19, 2026.

Ardoq Launches AI-First Enterprise Architecture Platform28.5.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Ardoq, named a 5x Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture Tools, today launched its AI-first enterprise architecture (EA) platform. The release grounds every Ardoq AI output in customers' live architecture data and introduces a new generation of AI agents capable of automating an estimated 40% of routine EA work. Architects today are being asked to defend decisions that generic AI is generating in seconds. Application rationalization choices. ERP transformation roadmaps. AI governance reviews. The questions land on the architect's desk, but the analysis underneath increasingly comes from AI assistants that do not know the architecture. Generic agents reason on whatever document is in front of them, not on the live relationships between applications, dependencies, capabilities, and risks. Ask a generic LLM to trace a five-step dependency chain across the real estate, and accuracy collapses. The answer arrives with confidence. The architect inherits the consequ
