Volvo XC90 Next type, to announce in 2022 ... Equipped with Nvidia technology for autonomous driving

Volvo Cars announced on April 12 that it will expand its partnership with Nvidia and will adopt the "NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN" system on -chip (SOC) technology as a next -generation Volvo vehicle automatic driving computer.

For safe autonomous driving, large computer power is an essential condition.NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN, the latest AI computing platform for the automotive industry, has the ability of 254 terrellas (or 254 trillion) operations/seconds (TOPS).

Volvo Cars aims to become the first major automaker to adopt NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN as a next -generation model based on the modular architecture "SPA2".The first car with this SOC will be the next Volvo "XC90", which will be announced in 2022.

A computer equipped with NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN is an important factor in enabling safe and continuously updated automatic driving.NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN works in cooperation with Volvo Cars's automatic driving software development company "Zenseact" and software, steering and brakes developed by the company.

Computing power and graphics processed by NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN, such as the state -of -the -art LIDAR technology developed by Volvo Cars's technical partner Luminar, will be able to enable advanced sensor sweets for automatic driving.

Volvo Cars' SPA2 architecture will be provided as hardware for automatic driving since the start of production.The "highway pilot" without a monitoring autonomous driving function is said to work when it is confirmed that it is safe according to individual geographical places and situations.
