Entire Fleet to Feature Software-Defined and Perpetually Updateable AI User Experiences Starting in 2022
SINGAPORE—November 10, 2020—NVIDIA and Hyundai Motor Group today announced
that the automaker’s entire lineup of Hyundai, Kia and Genesis models will come
standard with NVIDIA DRIVE™ in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems starting in 2022.
From entry-level to premium vehicles, these fleets will feature a rich, software-defined
AI user experience that is perpetually updateable.
Recent breakthroughs in AI and accelerated computing have opened the door for nextgeneration cars and trucks to benefit from new functionality, capabilities and enhanced
safety features that can be added after the car is purchased. With a centralised,
software-defined computing architecture, future vehicles can always have the latest AI
cockpit features.
For Hyundai Motor Group, standardising on the high-performance, energy-efficient
NVIDIA DRIVE platform for its future models allows for a seamless and continuously
enhanced in-vehicle AI user experience. NVIDIA DRIVE includes a hardware and software
stack, enabling Hyundai, Kia and Genesis IVI systems to feature audio, video, navigation,
connectivity and AI-enhanced connected car services.Paul Choo, senior vice president of the Electronics Tech Unit at Hyundai Motor Group,
said: “At Hyundai Motor Group, we’re committed to delivering greater value, safety,
functionality and enjoyment over the lifetime of the car. The NVIDIA DRIVE platform is
proven — it is scalable, energy-efficient and has the performance to support our next
generation of software-defined vehicles.”
Hyundai Motor Group has been working with NVIDIA since 2015 — with the Genesis
GV80 and G80 featuring a state-of-the-art IVI system powered by NVIDIA DRIVE. The
companies have also been collaborating to create an advanced digital cockpit for release
in late 2021. Today’s announcement takes the relationship further with Hyundai Motor
Group standardising on NVIDIA DRIVE for its entire fleet of vehicles — marking the
automaker’s commitment to integrating the capacity to support future apps and
features.
“NVIDIA brought consumer electronic functionality and a graphics-rich user interface to
infotainment systems more than a decade ago,” said Ali Kani, vice president of
autonomous vehicles at NVIDIA. “Now, we are once again transforming these systems
through the power of AI — helping Hyundai Motor Group increase safety and value,
along with enhancing customer satisfaction, throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.”
Enabling a Connected Car Operating System
NVIDIA will enable Hyundai Motor Group to roll out its new connected car operating
system (ccOS) across future models. Developed in-house by Hyundai Motor Group, the
new ccOS will bring together the large amount of data generated by the vehicle and its
network of sensors, as well as external connected car data centres, providing a more
pleasurable and convenient experience for the driver and occupants.ccOS also incorporates an integrated architecture for a new connected car service
platform, or ccSP, which is an open platform enabling a wide range of partners to
provide relevant services to owners.
Hyundai Motor Group will announce more details surrounding its upcoming IVI and
ccOS capabilities in line with future vehicle announcements.
