NVIDIA Revolutionizes Transportation Industry with AI-Powered Mobility Solutions
NVIDIA's AI-powered platform and Drive AGX technology are being adopted by leading global transportation companies to build the future of mobility. The company's DRIVE AGX platform provides next-generation highly automated and autonomous vehicle development technologies, including cloud-based AI training and simulation. The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC) accelerates inference tasks critical for autonomous vehicles to understand the world around them with 1,000 teraflops of compute performance. Toyota will build its next-generation vehicles on the high-performance NVIDIA DRIVE Orin SoC, running the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS. NVIDIA partners are pushing boundaries of automotive innovation with their latest developments and demos, using NVIDIA technologies to advance everything from sensors to generative AI. The company has announced a long-term strategic partnership with Aurora, Continental, and itself to deploy driverless trucks at scale. NVIDIA's DRIVE AGX Hyperion platform has achieved safety certifications from TÜV SÜD and TÜV Rheinland, setting new standards for autonomous vehicle safety and innovation.
In a groundbreaking move, leading global transportation companies are turning to NVIDIA's AI-powered platform and Drive AGX technology to build the future of mobility. At the recent CES trade show in Las Vegas, NVIDIA's customers and partners showcased their latest mobility innovations built on NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI.
NVIDIA's automotive business has been providing next-generation highly automated and autonomous vehicle (AV) development technologies, including cloud-based AI training, simulation, and in-vehicle compute. The company's DRIVE AGX platform is engineered to handle the transportation industry's most demanding data-intensive workloads, including those involving generative AI, vision language models, and large language models.
The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC), built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, is equipped to accelerate inference tasks that are critical for autonomous vehicles to understand and navigate the world around them. These tasks include recognizing pedestrians, adjusting to inclement weather, and more. With its high-performance capabilities, DRIVE AGX Thor delivers 1,000 teraflops of accelerated compute performance.
In addition to its impressive technical capabilities, NVIDIA's partnership with Arm has resulted in the integration of the Arm Neoverse V3AE CPU into the DRIVE Thor platform. This marks the first implementation of Arm's next-generation automotive CPU, which combines Arm v9-based technologies with data-center-class single-thread performance alongside essential safety and security features.
Toyota, the world's largest automaker, will build its next-generation vehicles on the high-performance, automotive-grade NVIDIA DRIVE Orin SoC, running the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS. These vehicles will offer functionally safe advanced driving-assistance capabilities.
Several other vehicles powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Orin were also showcased at CES, including Zeekr Mix and Zeekr 001, which feature DRIVE Orin's ultra-high-performance intelligent driving domain controller. Lotus Eletre Carbon was also displayed with P3 and 3SS variants, while Rivian R1S and Polestar 3 activated with Dolby offered demos.
NVIDIA partners are pushing boundaries of automotive innovation with their latest developments and demos, using NVIDIA technologies and accelerated computing to advance everything from sensors, simulation, and training to generative AI and teledriving. The company's DRIVE AGX platform is being used by various partners to deploy driverless trucks at scale, powered by the next-generation NVIDIA DRIVE Thor SoC.
To further enhance its capabilities, NVIDIA has announced a long-term strategic partnership with Aurora, Continental, and itself to deploy driverless trucks at scale. This partnership will integrate NVIDIA DRIVE Thor and DriveOS into the Aurora Driver, an SAE level 4 autonomous driving system that Continental plans to mass-manufacture in 2027.
NVIDIA also showcased its innovative solutions for safety and cybersecurity at CES. The company's DRIVE AGX Hyperion platform has achieved safety certifications from TÜV SÜD and TÜV Rheinland, setting new standards for autonomous vehicle safety and innovation. Furthermore, NVIDIA launched the DRIVE AI Systems Inspection Lab, designed to help partners meet rigorous autonomous vehicle safety and cybersecurity requirements.
In addition, complementing its three computers designed to accelerate AV development — NVIDIA AGX, NVIDIA Omniverse running on OVX, and NVIDIA DGX — NVIDIA has introduced the NVIDIA Cosmos platform. This platform provides a world foundation model and advanced data processing pipelines that can dramatically scale generated data and speed up physical AI system development.
Several transportation leaders are already using Cosmos to build physical AI for AVs, including Fortellix, Uber, Waabi, and Wayve. With its cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions, NVIDIA is revolutionizing the transportation industry and paving the way for a safer and more efficient future.
