Volkswagen builds AV data flywheel with NVIDIA, Microsoft, Voxel51, cutting test drives by up to 90%

Porsche, Volkswagen Group brands, and CARIAD are building a shared data flywheel for autonomous vehicle development, they announced at NVIDIA GTC Berlin on October 21, 2026. Porsche leads the initial rollout with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Voxel51. The Volkswagen Group fleet generates data equivalent to 11,000 average drivers per day. Voxel51 supplies the data platform, NVIDIA provides simulation and data generation tools, and Microsoft Azure provides cloud infrastructure. The system turns raw driving logs into training and simulation inputs, and rebuilds real drives for virtual testing of driving software. The partners expect to cut repeated physical test drives by up to 90% and shorten AI regression test cycles by up to 85%.

VW writes down $11.2B as German carmakers warn of plant closures amid job losses

Volkswagen Group wrote down $11.5 billion on Friday, with $6.9 billion attributed to its 75% stake in Porsche. The Stuttgart-based sports car maker has seen profits decline as China sales slowed and electric vehicle production outpaced demand, with its profit margin falling below Skoda's. VW may accelerate workforce reduction plans ahead of a challenging 2026. Mercedes-Benz also warned it might close one German assembly plant and one powertrain plant unless cost savings are achieved. Workers protested yesterday at Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and VW facilities. IG Metall union head Christiane Benner called on corporate leaders to take responsibility for Germany's automotive industry and jobs.

Porsche sells consulting arm for $362M, then signs $1.4B contract to rent it back

Porsche has sold its consulting arm MHP to Tata Consultancy Services for approximately €320 million, then immediately signed a five-year, €1.25 billion contract to buy back similar digital and AI services from the new owner. The sale comes as Porsche faces severe financial pressure. The company's operating return on sales plummeted to 1.1% in 2025 from 14.1% the previous year. Porsche booked roughly €3.1 billion in extraordinary charges tied to delaying its next-generation EV platform and pivoting back to combustion engines. MHP generated €742 million in revenue last year, meaning it sold for less than half of annual sales. Porsche is now committed to spending nearly four times the sale price over five years for comparable services. Deliveries fell 16.5% in the first half of 2026, whilst battery-electric vehicles' share in Porsche's lineup shrank from 23.5% to 19.4%.
