Hyundai Motor, Nvidia Strengthen Future Autonomous Driving Tech Partnership

Hyundai Motor Group is stepping up efforts to secure competitiveness in autonomous driving technology by expanding its collaboration with global semiconductor firm Nvidia. This partnership follows Hyundai Motor Group's strategic decision to gain a competitive edge amidst the rapid restructuring of the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) and autonomous driving markets, and is analyzed as part of its strategy to build a future mobility ecosystem beyond simple technology adoption.

Hyundai Motor Group plans to apply Level 2 or higher autonomous driving technologies to its mass-produced vehicles based on Nvidia's integrated autonomous driving development platform, 'DRIVE Hyperion,' and establish an integrated autonomous driving architecture (design methodology) that can be expanded to Level 4 robo-taxis. Notably, both companies have agreed to accelerate the technological paradigm shift from hardware-centric to software and data-centric approaches, by enhancing AI models that self-learn from massive data in the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

Motional, Hyundai Motor Group's autonomous driving joint venture, will play a key role in commercializing robo-taxi services and advancing technology by leveraging Nvidia's capabilities. The two companies plan to continuously improve autonomous driving performance by strengthening their data-driven learning systems. Recently, AI semiconductor technology has emerged as a core component for autonomous driving in the IT industry, and Nvidia, through its keynote address, declared the expansion of an AI-based robo-taxi ecosystem together with global partners, including Hyundai Motor.
