NVIDIA launched the "New Robot Brain" on the 25th. After driving the Jetson Thor super computer with the Blackwell platform, the industry believes that NVIDIA's "next big thing" will be to promote the re-evolution of self-driving cars. The joint technology vehicle solution has integrated NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU and deep learning accelerator, perfectly combining NVIDIA's self-driving car solution, and will be the biggest winner of NVIDIA's next step to strengthen self-driving cars.

NVIDIA executive chief Huang Rensheng previously announced that robots are NVIDIA's largest potential growth market outside of AI, and self-driving cars will be the first major commercial application of the technology. The world has entered the "decade of robotics and self-driving cars". At this year's NVIDIAGTC Conference, "The era of automatic driving cars has arrived. All cars will have automatic driving functions in the next 20 years."

NVIDIA is attacking both ways in the real AI field. In addition to laying out humanoid robots for the target, it also attacks the vehicle field at the same time. The Department of Technology has a close relationship with NVIDIA and has cooperated with multiple projects, from personal AI supercomputers to smart seating solutions, etc., to jointly occupy AI business machines. For NVIDIA, the broad robot definition, in addition to general-purpose robots, various types of self-driving cars are also considered to be the scope of robots, and the existence of robots will be seen in various fields in the future.

NVIDIA is a powerful driver, and provides DRIVE AGX Orin system single chips, as well as the new generation of DRIVE AGX Thor system single chips, which can combine advanced driving assistance and AI seats on a single safe and reliable system.

Joint Development Technology and NVIDIA jointly developed the GB10 super chip, which is used in the world's smallest AI super computer "Project DIGITS". Related final products have been launched. In the field of vehicle use, the C-X1, an advanced smart seating solution designed by Joint Development and NVIDIA to create a flagship model, is also expected to be delivered in the second half of this year and will be paid and collected next year.

Dimensity Auto series smart seat flagship platform C-X1 is built with a 3-nanometer process, integrating NVIDIA Blackwell GPU and deep learning accelerator, and the list can provide powerful AI computing power that can meet the needs of future smart seats.

At the same time, in the entertainment experience field, C-X1 also integrates NVIDIARTX GPU optical tracking technology, which can bring better light and shadow visual effects to game drawings and provide car 3A game entertainment experience.

Contact Department said that when C-X1 is used with NVIDIA security and AI processors such as DRIVE AGX Thor, it can form a complete centralized computing platform solution to manage the various division functions of the vehicle. DRIVE AGX Thor and C-X1 can achieve flexible resource sharing and general-controlled vehicle division functions through the NVIDIADriveOS platform.

NVIDIA mentioned at the beginning of the year that DRIVE Hyperion is the first and only end-to-end automatic driving platform in the industry, including DRIVE AGX system single chip and reference board design, DriveOS vehicle driving system, etc., including Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo Cars and other vehicle manufacturers. This platform with modular design can be expanded, upgraded and compatible with future generations of DRIVE system single chips. The latest version of DRIVE Hyperion launched in the first half of this year is the DRIVE AGX Thor chip created with a Blackwell architecture.

NVIDIA executive chief Huang Renjun mentioned that the lower wave autonomous machine will understand the real world and interact with it based on the physical AI world basic model, and the company's DRIVE product line is a product specially created for this new era.
