At CES 2024, Nvidia (NVIDA) announced that four electric vehicle manufacturers, Li Auto, Great Wall Motor, Zeekr, and Xiaomi, have selected NVIDIA's Drive Orin for their intelligent driving platforms.
"At a time when the transportation industry is adopting centralized computing to achieve a high degree of automation and autonomous driving, and NVIDIA Drive Orin is the AI in-vehicle computer of choice for today's smart cars, automakers are increasingly looking forward to its successor, NVIDIA Drive Thor, which will have more advanced features and AI performance," said the vice president of NVIDIA. ”
NIO currently uses two Drive Orin processors to power AD Max, the driver assistance system in its L-Series models. With a combined computing power of 508 trillion operations per second (TOPS), the two processors combine sensors to enable lane change control (LCC), automatic parking, and automatic emergency braking (AEB) active safety functions.
Great Wall Motor announced that it will build its self-developed high-end intelligent driving system Coffee Pilot based on NVIDIA Drive Orin. Coffee Pilot can support parking, highway, and urban scenarios, and realize intelligent navigation and assisted driving functions in scenarios that do not require high-precision maps. Great Wall plans to launch its first model equipped with the system in the first half of this year, and related advanced intelligent driving functions will be introduced on the Great Wall Wey model first.
Recently, Zeekr unveiled the Zeekr 007, a luxury sedan, which is its fourth model to feature NVIDIA Drive Orin. The model features an all-new, full-stack intelligent driving system, powered by two Drive Orin chip systems, which enable smart parking and other automated operations on highways and city roads.
Xiaomi Auto also recently unveiled its first product, the Su7, which is based on a dual-drive orin configuration that enables highway driving. The product will use Xiaomi's advanced large language model to perceive driving-related information and make decisions accordingly.
