What is the number of autonomous systems that NVIDIA is working with in the logistics industry
t's a computer that is writing software. The way that you develop software is completely different, the way compute is different and that was our first phase and that started in the journey that was some eight, nine years ago now.
The second phase was the adoption of using this in an industrial way for clouds and we strongly revolutionized these services whether it's speech oriented services or search oriented services, just recommender services, the way you shop, the way you use the Internet is completely different to and so that's really the second phase and those two phases are still continuing to grow and you're still seeing the growth associated with that. The third phase is the industrialization of AI and some of the great examples when I say kind of the smartphone moment, I meant that it's a device with AI, its autonomous and its connected to a cloud service and its continuously learning. So some of the exciting example that I saw -- that I've seen and we're working with, with companies all over the world, we have some 7,000 AI start-ups that we're working with and almost all of them are developing something like this and large industrial companies whether it's John Deere or Walmart, they are all developing applications kind of like this and basically it's an autonomous system, autonomous machine.
In our case, it's called Jetson, it's a robotics machine. If that robotics machine is a car, then its called DRIVE and it's running an autonomous -- an AI application on top, an AI skill on top and it could be moving things around, it could be picking and placing, it could be just watching a warehouse and monitoring traffic and keeping traffic flow going. It could be connected to a car and whenever the car -- whenever the fleet of cars needs to be retrained because of the new circumstance that was discovered, the cloud service would do the relearning and then would deploy it into all of the autonomous devices.
And so in the future we're seeing that these industries whether you're in retail or in logistics or transportation or farming, ag tech to lawnmowers -- consumer lawnmowers. They're not going to just be products that you buy and use from that point forward, but they will likely be a connected device with an AI service that runs on top of it and so these industries are so excited about it because it gives them an opportunity to change the way that they interact with their customers.
Rather than selling something once, they sell something and provide a service that's on top of that and they could stay engaged with the customers. The customers could get a product that's improving all of the time just like your smartphone and that's kind of like -- that's kind of the reason, that's the reason why I've been calling it the smartphone moment for all these industries and we saw what happened to the smartphone revolution and then we saw what happened to the smart microphone, the smart speaker revolution.
You're going to see smart lawnmowers, smart tractors, smart air conditioners, smart elevators, smart buildings, smart warehouses, robotic retail stores. The entire retail store is like a robot and they will all have autonomous capability, they'll all be driven by AI. And so what's new for the industry therefore is that all of the enterprises in the world used to have computers for IT to facilitate -- to host their employees and their supply chain, but in the future all of these industries whether you are in medical imaging or lawnmowers, you're going to have data centers that are hosting your products just like the CSPs and so that's a brand new industry and we have a platform that we call EGX, which is the 5G Edge AI systems and we have the autonomous system we call AGX, which is [Indecipherable] and between those two systems and the software stack that we have on top of it, we're in a great position to help these industries one at a time transform their business model from the object-oriented business model, a theme based business model to a connected device business model.
