Technology company Nvidia announced that it has partnered with Toyota to develop an automated vehicle.
Toyota will build its next-generation vehicles with NVIDIA’s Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and operating system DriveOS.
“The autonomous vehicle revolution has arrived, and automotive will be one of the largest AI and robotics industries,” Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said in a statement. “NVIDIA is bringing two decades of automotive computing, safety expertise and its CUDA AV platform to transform the multitrillion dollar auto industry.”
Uber is also collaborating with Nvidia to develop AI driving technology.
“Generative AI will power the future of mobility, requiring both rich data and very powerful compute,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, said on Monday. “By working with NVIDIA, we are confident that we can help supercharge the timeline for safe and scalable autonomous driving solutions for the industry.”
The company seeks to partner with the Nvidia Cosmos platform and Nvidia DGX Cloud. Nvidia’s Cosmos is a “new platform of state-of-the-art generative world foundation models, tokenizers, and accelerated data processing and model customization pipelines, purpose-built for developing physical AI systems like robots and autonomous vehicles,” a press release explains. Nvidia’s DGX Cloud is a platform that “delivers day-one productivity and maximum resource utilization for AI model development across multi-cloud environments.”
“Uber is one of the first mobility leaders to embrace these platforms to accelerate the development and deployment of physical AI systems such as AVs,” said Nvidia’s Vice President of Automotive Norm Marks. “We’re excited to collaborate with Uber to help empower the AV ecosystem with Cosmos and DGX Cloud.”
