Nvidia Supercomputer, Operating System To Power Toyota's Next-Gen Vehicles

Japanese automaker Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) will use Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and operating system for advanced driver assistance features on its next-generation models, the chipmaker said on Monday.

What Happened: In his keynote speech at CES 2025, the annual tech conference held in Las Vegas, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that Toyota would build its next-generation vehicles on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin, running the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system in a bid to provide advanced driving assistance capabilities. The company did not specify which models would be using its operating system.

"The autonomous vehicle revolution has arrived, and automotive will be one of the largest AI and robotics industries," said Huang. "NVIDIA is bringing two decades of automotive computing, safety expertise and its CUDA AV platform to transform the multitrillion dollar auto industry."

The chipmaker now expects its automotive vertical business to grow to about $5 billion in FY2026 from $4 billion expected this year.

Why It Matters: Other automakers that are adopting the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX for their advanced drive assistance systems include BYD, Li Auto, Lucid, Rivian, Xiaomi, Zeekr, and Zoox, among others.

Nvidia now offers three core computing systems for autonomous driving. While the Nvidia DRIVE AGX is the in-vehicle computer, the Nvidia DGX trains AI models with data from the fleet. Nvidia Omniverse and Nvidia Cosmos test and validate self-driving systems in simulations.

Price Action: Nvidia shares closed up 3.4% at $149.43 on Monday. The stock is up 9.9% year-to-date, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
