NVIDIA has announced that Toyota, Aurora, and Continental are now part of the global mobility leaders developing their vehicle fleets using NVIDIA's accelerated computing and AI technology. Toyota will build its next-generation vehicles on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin platform, which runs the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system. These vehicles will provide advanced driving assistance capabilities.

Most of today's automakers, truck manufacturers, robotaxi companies, autonomous delivery vehicle firms, tier-one suppliers, and mobility startups are utilizing the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform. This broad adoption is expected to help grow NVIDIA's automotive business to around $5 billion by fiscal year 2026.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated: "The autonomous vehicle revolution has arrived, and automotive will be one of the largest AI and robotics industries. NVIDIA is bringing two decades of automotive computing, safety expertise and its CUDA AV platform to transform the multitrillion dollar auto industry."

Additionally, Aurora, Continental, and NVIDIA have formed a long-term strategic partnership to deploy driverless trucks at scale using NVIDIA DRIVE technology. The partnership involves integrating NVIDIA’s accelerated compute running DriveOS into the Aurora Driver system. Continental plans to mass-produce this SAE level 4 autonomous-driving system by 2027.

Other companies adopting the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for their advanced driver-assistance systems include BYD, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), Li Auto, Lucid Motors, Mercedes-Benz, NIO Inc., Nuro Inc., Rivian Automotive LLC., Volvo Cars Corporation, Waabi Innovation Inc., Wayve Technologies Ltd., Xiaomi Corporation., ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Zoox Inc., among others.

NVIDIA provides three core computing systems along with essential AI software for end-to-end autonomous vehicle development: in-vehicle computer systems through NVIDIA DRIVE AGX; data processing from fleets via NVIDIA DGX; and simulation testing through platforms like NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos running on OVX systems.

Further details about these developments were shared during Jensen Huang's keynote address at CES.
