Nvidia also used GTC, the annual artificial intelligence event opening this Monday, 16th, as a stage to announce an expanded collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation to develop next-generation autonomous driving technologies.
According to detailed information on Nvidia’s website, the collaboration is based on the Nvidia Drive Hyperion autonomous vehicle development platform.
The collaboration brings together Hyundai Motor Group’s software-defined vehicle (SDV) capabilities, global vehicle fleet and autonomous driving development expertise with Nvidia’s accelerated computing, AI infrastructure and autonomous driving software to support the development of scalable, data-driven autonomous driving systems across all of Hyundai Motor Group’s vehicle platforms.

“The future of mobility will be built on AI and software,” said Rishi Dhall, vice president of Nvidia’s automotive division. “We are combining Hyundai Motor Group’s leadership in vehicle engineering with Nvidia’s accelerated computing and AI to build safe and intelligent autonomous driving systems based on Nvidia Drive – from advanced driver assistance in select production vehicles to scalable robotaxi services with Motional.”
NVIDIA will also explore an expanded collaboration with Motional, Hyundai Motor Group’s autonomous driving joint venture, to further enhance Level 4 robotaxi capabilities and accelerate next-generation autonomous mobility services.
By combining Hyundai Motor Group’s large-scale fleet data and SDV (Vehicle Development Systems) development capabilities with NVIDIA’s AI computing platform, the companies aim to accelerate a continuous development cycle that includes large-scale and real-world driving data collection, AI model training and refinement, simulation, validation and deployment in production vehicles.
