NVIDIA has announced that its autonomous vehicle platform, NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion, has passed the industrial safety assessment of TÜV SÜD and TÜV Rheinland, two leading automotive safety and cybersecurity certification bodies.
DRIVE Hyperion is a comprehensive platform for autonomous driving. It includes the DRIVE AGX SoC and reference board design, the NVIDIA DriveOS automotive operating system, a sensor suite, and a Level 2+ active safety and driving stack. Mercedes-Benz, JLR, and Volvo Cars are already implementing this platform. Because it is designed to be modular, customers can use exactly what they need. It is also scalable and designed to be upgradable and compatible with future generations of DRIVE SoCs.
The newest version of DRIVE Hyperion will be available in the first half of this year. It is designed for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The system is equipped with the high-performance DRIVE AGX Thor SoC based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture.
NVIDIA DRIVE Thor, the core computer for DRIVE Hyperion, is the successor to NVIDIA DRIVE Orin. As such, developers can leverage existing software from previous generations of DRIVE products as well as integrate future updates to achieve seamless development pipelines.
The chip is optimized for demanding computational workloads, including those associated with generative AI, vision models, and large language models. Its architecture improves generalization, reduces latency, and enhances safety by leveraging NVIDIA computing to run a comprehensive autonomous driving and safety stack in parallel.
In addition to the DRIVE AGX on-board computer, two other NVIDIA computers serve as the foundation for developing automotive-grade autonomous systems: NVIDIA DGX systems for training advanced AI models and building the autonomous driving software stack in the cloud, and the NVIDIA Omniverse platform running on NVIDIA OVX systems for simulation and validation.
