AI titan Nvidia ramps up collaboration with Chinese auto giants

Nvidia has expanded its collaboration with Chinese electric car makers, including BYD, to work on the development of autonomous vehicles using AI technology. BYD, the world's largest EV company, will be adopting Nvidia's next-generation AV computer and its all-in-one vehicle control system, DRIVE Thor. Other Chinese EV firms, such as XPeng, Li Auto, ZEEKR, and GAC Aion, have also adopted the Thor platform. Nvidia's infrastructure for cloud-based AI development and training will be utilized by BYD as well. This move strengthens Nvidia's ties with the Chinese EV industry despite restrictions on exporting its powerful AI hardware to China imposed by the US.
