NVIDIA’s #automotive Pipeline Now Exceeds $8 Billion for AI-Based #mobility Solutions
GTC -- Volvo Cars, #zoox and #saic are among the growing ranks of leading transportation companies using the newest NVIDIA DRIVE™ solutions to power their next-generation AI-based autonomous vehicles, #nvidia announced today.
NVIDIA’s design-win pipeline for #nvidia DRIVE now totals more than $8 billion over the next six years, reflecting a growing range of next-generation cars, trucks, robotaxis and new energy vehicles (NEVs).
“Transportation is becoming a technology industry. Besides having amazing autonomous driving and AI technologies, vehicles will be programmable platforms to offer software-driven services. The business models of transportation will be reinvented,” said #jensenhuang, founder and CEO of #nvidia. “Our design wins demonstrate how #nvidia is partnering with one of the world’s largest and most impactful industries to help revolutionize the future of #mobility.”
Volvo Cars and #nvidia Extend Collaboration
Volvo Cars announced that it will use #nvidia DRIVE Orin™ to power the autonomous driving #computer in its next-generation cars, extending the companies’ deep collaboration over the last few years. The first car featuring DRIVE Orin technology, the next-generation Volvo XC90, is planned to be revealed next year.
NVIDIA DRIVE Orin’s high-performance, energy-efficient compute will work together with software developed in-house by #volvocars and Zenseact (Volvo Cars’ autonomous driving software development company), an advanced sensor suite that includes lidar as well as steering and braking backup systems. As a result, the global automaker’s fleet of intelligent vehicles will be safer, more personal and sustainable — along with being richly programmable and perpetually upgradable via over-the-air software updates designed to make Volvo Cars’ next-gen vehicles better every day.

Robotaxis Turn to DRIVE
The world is moving trillions of miles a year, and more and more of these miles are being delivered as a service, thanks to the robotaxi companies developing on the #nvidia DRIVE platform.
Zoox recently unveiled its purpose-built robotaxi designed for everyday urban #mobility. The vehicle is powered by #nvidia DRIVE and is one of the first robotaxis featuring bi-directional capabilities, putting the next generation of intelligent transportation into motion.
DiDi, China’s leading mobility-as-a-service provider, has also announced it is adopting #nvidia DRIVE for its entire autonomous driving test fleet. These robotaxi companies join others already developing on the #nvidia DRIVE platform, including Pony.ai and #auto X.

Sparking the NEV Revolution
Additionally, a growing number of #automotive startups and EV brands have in recent months announced plans to build software-defined vehicles using #nvidia DRIVE Orin to deliver continuously improving AI capabilities, beginning as early as next year. They include:

Trucks to Hit the Road with #nvidia DRIVE
The trucking industry is plagued by a severe driver shortage amid growing demand for e-commerce goods. The #nvidia DRIVE platform helps deliver safe, fully autonomous trucks that can operate in geo-fenced areas, public roads and highways.
Navistar is partnering with TuSimple to build self-driving trucks designed from the ground up for level 4 autonomous operation, powered by #nvidia DRIVE. The U.S. maker’s intelligent trucks are targeted for production by 2024.
China’s largest truck maker, FAW, is working with Plus to develop autonomous trucks on the #nvidia DRIVE platform. These trucks will start production later this year and will upgrade to Orin in 2022.
Volvo Autonomous Solutions, part of Volvo Group, is also using the end-to-end #nvidia DRIVE platform for the development of autonomous transport solutions and next-generation level 4 trucks.
