Nvidia announced a new collaboration with Foxconn, the world’s largest technology manufacturer, to manufacture its Nvidia Drive Orin processors for use in highly automated (and eventually autonomous) vehicles. Foxconn will also incorporate Nvidia Drive Orin hardware and the Drive Hyperion sensor suite into its own future electric vehicle lineup.
Foxconn, perhaps best known for producing iPhones, will serve as a global tier-one supplier of electronic control units based on Nvidia Drive Orin system-on-a-chip processors, bringing large-scale volume manufacturing to meet the demands of various automakers (including Mercedes-Benz and Volvo) with plans to use Drive’s artificial intelligence technology in their next-generation driver aid systems and automated cars.
