Autonomous vehicles have made their mark, and Nvidia is poised to take the lead in this exciting new era. Toyota's strategic integration of Nvidia Drive AGX technology, built on a foundation of safety-certified Nvidia Drive OS, marks a significant milestone for its pioneering vehicle lineup.
“Toyota and Nvidia are teaming up to develop the next generation of autonomous vehicle systems,” said CEO Jensen Huang.
Building on this momentum, Aurora and Continental are expanding the Nvidia Drive ecosystem with plans to roll out driverless trucks at scale by 2027. These trucks will feature Nvidia Drive AGX Thor running the Nvidia Drive OS, based on Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture.
During his keynote, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang unveiled significant advancements in the Nvidia Drive Hyperion platform, hitting major safety and cybersecurity milestones.
Pioneers in automotive safety, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Volvo Cars, are adopting the Nvidia Drive platform and Drive OS for their advanced safety and AI capabilities. Nvidia Drive Hyperion has also passed rigorous safety tests, reinforcing Nvidia’s leadership in autonomous vehicle safety innovation.
Additionally, we launched the Nvidia Drive AI Systems Inspection Lab, accredited by ANSI, to assist Drive partners in meeting functional safety, cybersecurity, and AI certification standards.
“Drive OS is certified up to ASIL D, the highest standard for functional safety in vehicles,”
