Toyota to use Nvidia Drive AGX Orin supercomputer, AI-enabled DriveOS for next-gen autonomous vehicles

Toyota (2019 LQ Concept pictured) is among the companies that will use Nvidia’s Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and DriveOS operating system to power its next-gen autonomous vehicles, Nvidia has announced at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas.

Drive AGX Orin, which processes real-time sensor data, is one of three computers that make up Nvidia’s end-to-end self-driving toolkit. The other two, which Toyota has already been using for years, are Nvidia DGX (for training AI models and software stacks) and Nvidia Omniverse (for testing AV software and generating synthetic data in simulation).

BYD, Jaguar Land Rover, Li Auto, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Nio, Rivian, Volvo Cars, Xiaomi and Zeekr are among the carmakers that use Nvidia Drive AGX for their next-gen advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous vehicle roadmaps.

“The autonomous vehicle revolution has arrived, and automotive will be one of the largest AI and robotics industries. Nvidia is bringing two decades of automotive computing, safety expertise and its CUDA AV platform to transform the multi-trillion dollar auto industry,” said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang.

“Toyota is actually a great example of our cloud-to-car strategy. 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,” TechCrunch quoted Nvidia automotive VP Ali Kani as saying.

Autonomous vehicle technology startup Aurora Innovation and automotive supplier Continental also announced a long-term partnership with Nvidia to deploy driverless trucks at scale powered by the Nvidia Drive Thor system-on-a-chip. This will be integrated into the Aurora Driver, an SAE level 4 autonomous-driving system that Continental plans to mass-manufacture in 2027.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
