NVIDIA expands Toyota partnership to smart vehicles, robotics and city traffic systems
NVIDIA said it is deepening its partnership with Toyota to bring AI and hardware technologies into vehicles, robotics and infrastructure. The collaboration starts with in-vehicle systems, where Toyota is using NVIDIA DRIVE HDX and DRIVE AGX, running DriveOS, to build next-generation smart vehicles with L2+ to L2++ advanced driving and situational awareness functions. Toyota is also adopting a code-assist AI model trained on NVIDIA Megatron-LM technology and the Nemotron dataset to help engineers generate, review and verify in-vehicle software under strict industry compliance requirements. The work also covers manufacturing and urban infrastructure. Toyota is using NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim to build digital twins of factory production lines under a simulation-first development model. In Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, Toyota subsidiary Woven by Toyota is developing the Woven City AI Vision Engine with NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and the Megatron-Core framework for traffic control and mobility forecasting. NVIDIA separately said it is expanding its Jetson AGX Thor lineup for robots and widening deployment of its open-source Nemotron model to companies including NTT DATA and Hitachi.
