Toyota’s upcoming generation of vehicles will feature Nvidia supercomputers

Toyota unveiled at CES 2025 that its next-generation vehicles will feature automated driving capabilities powered by Nvidia’s cutting-edge Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and DriveOS, a safety-focused operating system. DriveOS serves as the foundation of Nvidia’s autonomous vehicle platform, enabling real-time AI processing while integrating advanced driving and cockpit functionalities for a seamless and secure driving experience.

Nvidia’s Drive AGX Orin processes real-time sensor data and is a vital component of Nvidia’s comprehensive self-driving toolkit. This toolkit also includes the Nvidia DGX for training AI models and software stacks and the Nvidia Omniverse platform for testing autonomous vehicle (AV) software and generating synthetic data in simulations. Toyota has long leveraged Nvidia’s DGX and Omniverse systems for its autonomous vehicle development, starting in 2019 with the Toyota Research Institute. In fact, the partnership between Toyota and Nvidia began earlier, in 2017, with plans to integrate Nvidia supercomputers into future Toyota vehicles.

Ali Kani, vice president of automotive at Nvidia, highlighted Toyota’s role in demonstrating Nvidia’s cloud-to-car strategy. “Toyota is a great example of our cloud-to-car approach. We’ve partnered with Toyota in the cloud for years, and now we’re extending that partnership to the car,” Kani shared during a press briefing.

Toyota is not alone in adopting Nvidia’s automotive innovations. At CES 2025, Aurora Innovation and Continental also announced a collaboration to deploy driverless trucks at scale using Nvidia’s Drive Thor system-on-a-chip. These advancements underscore Nvidia’s pivotal role in shaping the future of autonomous driving across various segments of the automotive industry.

With a strong history of collaboration and a forward-looking vision, Toyota and Nvidia are setting the stage for safer, smarter, and more automated vehicles on the road.
