The name of NVIDIA Drive identifies a set of hardware and software technologies for fast information processing via a GPU provided by NVIDIA. In addition, Drive provides uninterrupted service regardless of whether the vehicle is connected to the network via surrounding infrastructure and smart devices.

NVIDIA’s technology provides intelligent customized services in depending on the habits and driving conditions of the driver of the vehicle. All in a safe environment, protected by security features developed by NVIDIA together with its partners. At the core of NVIDIA Drive are the recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and accelerated processing . With a centralized and software-driven computer architecture, future vehicles can be upgraded at any time, which allows, among other things, to introduce upgraded features.

NVIDIA’s artificial intelligence in future vehicles of the Hyundai Group

The NVIDIA Drive platform will also be the basis of the infotainment system : the collaboration between Hyundai and the video card manufacturer, in fact, will soon translate in a new technology of digital cockpit , which will be on board the vehicles of the Hyundai Motor Group , therefore also Kia and Genesis as well as Hyundai, starting next year.

The partnership will allow, among other things, to launch the new version of the “connected car operating system” ( ccOS) by Hyundai. It is a system developed internally at Hyundai, capable of bringing together a large amount of data generated by the vehicle and its sensor network together with data from external data centers connected remotely to the car, in order to provide a more pleasant and convenient for the driver and passengers of the vehicle.

ccOS also incorporates an integrated architecture for a new “connected car service platform” (ccSP) . The latter is an open platform that allows a wide range of partners to provide relevant services to owners. All the latest on the Hyundai and NVIDIA collaboration front can be found in the press release.

NVIDIA has an important background in automotive technology, having powered the first generations of Tesla (after Musk’s company made the system Autopilot 3 own). Recently it has also reached technological collaboration agreements with Mercedes-Benz .
