Toyota has announced that Nvidia‘s Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and DriveOS operating system will enable automated driving in its next-generation cars. DriveOS offers real-time AI processing and integration of advanced cockpit and driving capabilities. Toyota has been using Nvidia’s cloud computing platforms since 2019, and the company plans to equip future cars with Nvidia supercomputers for autonomous driving systems. Nvidia anticipates its automotive vertical business to reach around $5 billion in fiscal year 2026.
Toyota said at CES 2025 that Nvidia‘s Drive AGX Orin supercomputer and safety-focused operating system, DriveOS, will enable automated driving in its next-generation cars.
The operating system for Nvidia’s autonomous car platform, DriveOS, offers secure, real-time AI processing along with the integration of cutting-edge cockpit and driving capabilities.
Nvidia’s end-to-end self-driving toolset consists of three processors, including the Drive AGX in-vehicle supercomputer, which processes real-time sensor data. The Nvidia Omniverse platform is used to test antivirus software and create fictitious data in simulations, while Nvidia DGX is used to train AI models and software stacks.
For many years, Toyota has been a user of Nvidia’s other two cloud computing platforms. In order to develop, train, and evaluate its autonomous car technology, the Toyota Research Institute started utilizing Nvidia’s technology in 2019. Two years ago, the firms announced their intention to equip future Toyota cars with Nvidia supercomputers to enable autonomous driving systems.
During a press event on Monday, Ali Kani, vice president of automotive at Nvidia, stated, “Toyota is actually a perfect example of our cloud-to-car approach.” “We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Toyota in the automotive industry, having previously cooperated with them in the cloud.”
At CES 2025, automaker Aurora Innovation and car supplier Continental announced a long-term collaboration to implement driverless trucks at scale using the Nvidia Drive Thor system-on-a-chip, so Toyota is not alone.
Nvidia anticipates that its automotive vertical business will reach around $5 billion in fiscal year 2026, thanks to its array of platforms that cover training, simulation, and computation.
