Nvidia, the leading AI chip manufacturer, announced a major partnership with Toyota Motor Corporation to power the Japanese automaker's next generation of autonomous vehicles. The announcement was made by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Under the new agreement, Nvidia will provide Toyota with its Drive AGX Orin supercomputer chips and DriveOS safety system. These advanced semiconductors and software solutions are specifically designed to handle the complex computing demands of autonomous driving technology.
The partnership builds upon an existing relationship between the two companies dating back to 2019, when Toyota began using Nvidia's cloud-based systems for autonomous vehicle development. This latest collaboration represents a significant expansion of their joint efforts in self-driving technology.
Nvidia projects strong growth in its automotive segment, with expected revenue reaching $5 billion by fiscal 2026, up from $4 billion in 2025. The company has emerged as a key player in the automotive technology sector, securing partnerships with other major automakers including Mercedes-Benz, BYD, and Lucid.
The Drive AGX platform will enable Toyota to develop advanced driver assistance features and autonomous driving capabilities across various models. This technology integration aims to enhance vehicle safety and bring autonomous driving capabilities closer to mainstream adoption.
This partnership announcement reinforces both companies' commitment to advancing autonomous vehicle technology and marks another step forward in the automotive industry's transition toward self-driving capabilities.
