January 4 news, according to foreign media reports, Nvidia and Foxconn announced Tuesday that they will jointly develop a platform for self-driving cars.

Foxconn said it will build electronic control units (ECU) for cars based on Nvidia's DRIVE-Orin chips, which will serve the global auto market in the future. Foxconn's electric vehicle (EV) will use DRIVE Orin ECU and DRIVE Hyperion sensor architecture to achieve highly automated driving functions.

It is reported that Nvidia's DRIVE Orin chip was first released in 2019 and mass production was announced in March 2022. The chip can perform 254 trillion operations per second and, in theory, can support automakers to upgrade their products to the future L5 fully autonomous driving system through continuous upgrade and expansion. Nvidia is also developing a new generation of DRIVE Thor vehicle computing platform, which will have 2000 trillion floating-point computing performance and is scheduled to start mass production in 2025.

Rishi Dhall, vice president of Nvidia Automotive, said the partnership with Foxconn will provide automakers with world-class smart driving solutions. In addition, based on the certified DRIVE Hyperion sensor kit, Foxconn will be able to accelerate the launch strategy and time-cost strategy of its electric vehicles.

"through strategic cooperation with Nvidia, Foxconn will be able to provide more powerful smart driving solutions," said Eric Yeh, senior director of Foxconn's software development center. "the two sides will work together to help the industry build energy-efficient self-driving cars. To this end, the two sides have fully considered and will make use of their unique advantages to strive for innovation and seize opportunities in the field of electric vehicle development."

Foxconn's electric car business will accelerate this year, and the company has launched its own electric vehicle platform, as well as Model E luxury sedan, Model C SUV, Model T electric bus and other models. It also makes electric cars for Lordstown Motors and signed a contract with Fisker to produce a second model, the PEAR.
