Nvidia joins hands with Foxconn to enter the Electric Vehicle market

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023, chipmaker Nvidia and technology manufacturer Foxconn established a strategic agreement to build automated and autonomous vehicle systems. Foxconn will be a tier-one manufacturer under the arrangement, producing electronic control units (ECUs) based on Nvidia DRIVE Orin for the worldwide automobile industry. Electric vehicles (EVs) made by Foxconn will use DRIVE Orin ECUs and DRIVE Hyperion sensors for highly autonomous driving.

“This strategic cooperation with Nvidia strengthens the intelligent driving solutions Foxconn will be able to provide. Together, we are enabling the industry to build energy-efficient, automated vehicles,” Eric Yeh, senior director of the Software Development Center at Foxconn, said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, which are powered by the company’s ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace GPU architecture and deliver the company’s largest-ever generational leap in performance and power efficiency, as well as being up to three times more power efficient than the previous generation.

According to the firm, improved GeForce NOW RTX 4080 SuperPODs will give over 64 teraflops of graphics horsepower to a one user, which is more than 5x that of an Xbox Series X and almost 1.75x that of previous-generation SuperPODs.
The high-performance GeForce NOW cloud gaming service will also be available in cars, according to the company.

Hyundai Motor Group, which includes the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands, BYD, the world’s largest manufacturer of new energy vehicles (NEVs), and Polestar, a Swedish premium electric vehicle and lifestyle brand, will be the first to collaborate with Nvidia to deliver GeForce NOW in their vehicles.

“Accelerated computing, AI and connectivity are delivering new levels of automation, safety, convenience and enjoyment to the car,” Ali Kani, vice president of automotive at Nvidia, said in a statement.
