NVIDIA announced a significant expansion of its partnerships, with Toyota, Aurora, and Continental joining its roster of global mobility leaders to develop consumer and commercial vehicle fleets powered by NVIDIA’s advanced computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, will leverage NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, paired with the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system, for its next-generation vehicles. These vehicles are designed to provide functionally safe and advanced driver-assistance features, further solidifying Toyota’s commitment to cutting-edge mobility solutions.
NVIDIA’s DRIVE AGX platform has become a cornerstone for many leading automotive players, including automakers, truck manufacturers, and startups. With solutions spanning training in the cloud, in-car computing, and simulation, NVIDIA’s automotive business is projected to reach $5 billion in revenue by fiscal year 2026.
“The autonomous vehicle revolution has arrived, and automotive will be one of the largest AI and robotics industries,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is bringing two decades of automotive computing, safety expertise, and its CUDA AV platform to transform the multitrillion-dollar auto industry.”
Aurora, Continental, and NVIDIA have also entered a long-term strategic partnership to deploy driverless trucks on a large scale. This collaboration integrates NVIDIA DRIVE’s accelerated computing capabilities and DriveOS into Aurora’s SAE Level 4 autonomous-driving system. Continental plans to begin mass manufacturing these systems by 2027.
NVIDIA’s DRIVE AGX platform is also being adopted by several other mobility leaders, including BYD, Jaguar Land Rover, Li Auto, Lucid Motors, Mercedes-Benz, NIO, Rivian, Volvo Cars, and Xiaomi, among others. These companies are incorporating the platform into their roadmaps for advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicles.
NVIDIA offers a comprehensive suite of solutions for autonomous vehicle development, encompassing three core systems: NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for in-vehicle computing, NVIDIA DGX for processing fleet data and training AI models, and NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos for simulation testing and validation using NVIDIA OVX systems.
