What Happened: Nvidia ( NVDA ) selected Joby as its only aviation launch partner for the new Nvidia IGX Thor platform, which is designed to power the next generation of physical AI applications. 

The collaboration also aims to advance development of Joby’s Superpilot autonomous flight technology across military and civil platforms. The company said the Nvidia ( NVDA ) integration will help transform operational safety and mission capabilities.

“The autonomous systems under development at Joby are poised to complement human intelligence by providing speed, precision, and stamina beyond what a person alone is capable of,” said Gregor Veble Mikić, flight research lead at Joby. 

“To achieve this, an aircraft needs a powerful onboard computer that can interpret extraordinary amounts of information to make decisions in real-time.”

The collaboration is expected to enable real-time, on-board capabilities, including autonomous mission management, radar and perception processing, sensor fusion, predictive system monitoring and digital twin modeling.

The announcement comes amid Nvidia’s ongoing GTC event in Washington D.C., which wraps up on Wednesday.

How To Buy JOBY Stock

Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many let you buy “fractional shares,” which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to “go short” a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
