Toyota Plans To Use Nvidia Super Computers For Next-Gen Cars
At CES 2025, Toyota announced that its upcoming vehicles will feature advanced automated driving capabilities, powered by Nvidia's Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and its safety-oriented operating system, DriveOS.
Toyota plans to integrate Nvidia’s DRIVE AGX Orin platform into its next-generation models, augmenting features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping while paving the way for more advanced autonomy.
Toyota has been using Nvidia’s technology for years, particularly its DGX systems for training AI models and Omniverse platforms for testing autonomous vehicle software in simulated environments. Toyota Research Institute began using Nvidia’s tools in 2019 to validate its self-driving technology, and discussions about integrating Nvidia supercomputers into Toyota vehicles date back even further.
“Toyota is actually a great example of our cloud-to-car strategy,” said Ali Kani, vice president of automotive at Nvidia. “We had already partnered with Toyota in the cloud, and now we’re excited to extend that partnership and work with them in the car.”
Nvidia’s DriveOS serves as the backbone of its autonomous vehicle platform, enabling safe, real-time AI processing while integrating advanced driving and cockpit features. It supports the capabilities of the Drive AGX Orin in-vehicle supercomputer, which processes vast amounts of sensor data in real-time, a critical function for autonomous systems.
