NVIDIA Blog addressed the issue of safety in the large-scale deployment of physical AI. As context, the publication provides ABI Research and Omdia estimates regarding the future proliferation of autonomous vehicles and industrial robots.
According to ABI Research, by 2035 the installed base of autonomous vehicles at levels 3–5 will reach 49 million units. Omdia expects that between 2026 and 2035, approximately 60 million industrial robots will be deployed. These figures are cited in the NVIDIA Blog synopsis; independent confirmation is absent from the source package.

Why it matters
A likely consequence is that safety will become one of the key conditions for the expansion of physical AI in transportation and industry. The next observable signal will be more detailed industry data on safety measures and independent confirmation of forecasts. Significant uncertainty remains because only a synopsis of a single publication is available.
