Recently, NVIDIA released a new generation of autonomous driving platform - DRIVE Hyperion 9 at "GTC 2022". As an evolved version of DRIVE Hyperion 8, its performance will be doubled. In addition, NVIDIA also announced that BYD and Lucid will also use DRIVE Orin chips.
At present, Volvo, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and other manufacturers have stated that they will use NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips. This time, BYD and After Lucid, more than 25 car companies will use this chip, among which Volvo will launch cars equipped with DRIVE Orin chips starting in 2022.
The DRIVE Hyperion 8 autonomous driving platform built on DRIVE Orin consists of 360-degree cameras, millimeter wave radar, lidar and ultrasonic radar. Can realize automatic driving and other functions. Mercedes-Benz will start carrying it in 2024, and Jaguar Land Rover will start carrying it in 2025.
As an evolved version of Hyperion 8, Hyperion 9 will use two DRIVE Atlan chips, whose performance is approximately 4 times that of DRIVE Orin, reaching 1000TOPS. The unmanned platform will be equipped with 14 cameras, 9 millimeter wave radars, 3 lidar and 20 ultrasonic radars, and can process twice the sensor data of Hyperion 8. This will further improve the safety of autonomous driving and achieve fully automated Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving.
