NVIDIA announced the expansion of its global DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem at CES, including partnerships with Aeva, Bosch, Sony, and more. This unified network aims to accelerate the development of autonomous driving technologies for both passenger vehicles and long-haul freight, ensuring safety and efficiency in the transition to full autonomy.

Leading companies like Astemo, AUMOVIO, and ZF Group are developing DRIVE Hyperion-based electronic control units, while AUMOVIO, Aeva, and Sony are qualifying sensor suites on the open architecture. This growing sensor ecosystem includes cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic technologies, essential for building perception systems optimized for level 4 autonomy.

NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion platform delivers over 2,000 FP4 teraflops of real-time compute, supporting transformer-based perception and generative AI workloads for complex driving scenes. Partners can focus on differentiation at the software layer, benefiting from the safety, scalability, and continuous improvements of NVIDIA’s AV platform to accelerate time to market.

Safety and trust in autonomous driving are ensured through NVIDIA Halos, a comprehensive safety and cybersecurity framework. Halos provides tools for independent inspection, system validation, and certification, enabling continuous testing and improvement across virtual and real-world driving scenarios to build confidence among developers, regulators, and passengers.

NVIDIA introduced a new family of AI models and tools called Alpamayo at CES, optimized for real-time performance on the DRIVE Hyperion platform. These models aim to make level 4 development more accessible to the automotive industry, streamlining autonomous vehicle development from high-performance computers to AI training and simulation.
