General Motors Co. is expanding its partnership with technology company Nvidia Corp. to leverage artificial intelligence for designing future manufacturing plants and to improve self-driving systems.

Shares of General Motors got a small bump Tuesday after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced a partnership with the car maker to work on next-generation self-driving vehicles, robotics, and factories using AI.

Advanced chips will power a new software platform and optimize manufacturing, as GM works toward a future where robots build cars that drive themselves.
