Electric vehicles manufactured by Foxconn will feature Drive Orin ECUs and Drive Hyperion sensors for highly automated driving capabilities.
The partnership will allow Nvidia (NVDA) to scale further and meet growing demand for Drive Orin.
Foxconn will speed up its time-to-market and time-to- cost strategies by building EVs on Drive Hyperion platform.
"Our partnership with Foxconn will provide OEMs developing intelligent driving solutions with a world-class supplier that can scale for volume manufacturing of the Drive Orin platform," said Rishi Dhall, vice president of automotive, Nvidia (NVDA).
Foxconn (OTCPK:HNHAF) has been ramping up its EV strategy, raising its stake in EV maker Lordstown Motors (RIDE) as well as launching two more EV prototypes in October.
