OUR NVIDIA and Hong Hai Technology Group (foxconn) announces a strategic partnership to develop automated and autonomous transport platforms. As part of the agreement, Foxconn will become a manufacturer of NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™-based electronic control units (ECUs) for the global automotive market. Foxconn’s EVs will feature DRIVE Orin ECUs and NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion™ sensors for automated driving.

Eric Yesenior director of Foxconn Software Development Center, said:

“This strategic collaboration with NVIDIA reinforces the intelligent driving solutions that Foxconn will be able to provide. Together we are empowering the industry to create automated and energy efficient vehicles (…) This is a well thought out partnership that builds on the strengths of each side in the pursuit of innovative development and the possibilities of electric vehicles.”

Partnership with Foxconn expands efforts to meet the growing needs of the segment

The partnership with Foxconn will enable NVIDIA to expand its efforts and meet growing industry demand as more and more leading transportation companies use DRIVE Orin for smart vehicles. In addition, when building electric vehicles with qualified sensor arrays CONTROL HyperionFoxconn will accelerate its go-to-market and production strategy.

Rishi DhallVice President of Automotive at NVIDIA.

“Our partnership with Foxconn will allow OEMs to develop smart driving solutions with a world-class supplier capable of manufacturing the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin platform at industrial scale (…) Foxconn’s decision to also use the Hyperion DRIVE sensor suite for its electric vehicles will help accelerate their production without compromising for safety, reliability or quality.”

System-on-a-chip technology NVIDIA DRIVE Orin it supports up to 254 trillion operations per second and is designed to handle a large number of applications and deep neural networks running simultaneously in self-driving cars. NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion is a modular development platform and reference architecture for developing autonomous vehicles. Together, they act as the vehicle’s brain and central nervous system, processing vast amounts of real-time sensor data so that autonomous vehicles can sense, plan and act safely.

“This partnership will improve the safety and maneuverability of automated vehicles. NVIDIA is developing solutions that impact this market and help improve the quality of these smart cars,” he says. Marcio Aguiarenterprise department director NVIDIA for Latin America.
