NVIDIA Adoption of NVIDIA DRIVE Spans the Global Automotive Ecosystem
Aurora and Continental
Aurora and Continental are deploying driverless trucks at scale, powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Thor and NVIDIA DriveOS. This strategic partnership aims to transform the way goods are transported, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and accelerated computing.
Aurora’s Autonomous Driving System
Aurora’s SAE level 4 autonomous-driving system, which is set to be mass-manufactured in 2027 by Continental, will integrate NVIDIA’s accelerated compute running DriveOS. This cutting-edge technology enables the development of highly advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.
Global Automotive Ecosystem Adopts NVIDIA DRIVE
The adoption of NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, powered by the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system, is a significant milestone for the global automotive industry. Toyota, Aurora, and Continental have joined the list of leading mobility companies developing and building their consumer and commercial vehicle fleets on NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI.
Toyota Joins NVIDIA’s Global Mobility Leaders
Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, will build its next-generation vehicles on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin. These vehicles will offer functionally safe, advanced driving assistance capabilities, leveraging the power of NVIDIA’s CUDA AV platform and DriveOS operating system.
NVIDIA’s Commitment to Automotive Computing
With cutting-edge platforms spanning training in the cloud to simulation to compute in the car, NVIDIA’s automotive vertical business is expected to grow to approximately $5 billion in fiscal year 2026. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.
Aurora and Continental Partnership
The partnership between Aurora, Continental, and NVIDIA will bring about a significant transformation in the transportation industry. Driverless trucks powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Thor and DriveOS will be deployed at scale, revolutionizing the way goods are transported.
