Overview
- Volvo confirmed the EX60 will launch with a deeply integrated Gemini in-car assistant, with a public reveal set for January 21.
- HuginCore is Volvo’s second-generation software-defined vehicle platform that consolidates sensors, actuators, and compute to help the car understand its surroundings.
- Executives say lessons from the EX90 informed HuginCore, and a superset code stack with manifest-based configuration is intended to keep many SPA2 models on current software baselines.
- Hardware partners include Nvidia components and Qualcomm silicon—identified by Ars Technica as the Snapdragon 8255—paired with a four-year unlimited data plan.
- Volvo plans OTA updates to deepen Gemini’s capabilities, including eventual camera access and fleet data features that draw on accidents and near misses to support drivers.
