Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

NVIDIA announced at GTC 2023 that BYD will extend its use of the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ centralised compute platform in a broader range of its NEVs. The enhanced partnership expands BYD’s use of DRIVE Orin across multiple models in its next-generation Dynasty and Ocean series. It will, as a result, bring safe and intelligent vehicles to market.

“NVIDIA DRIVE Orin has been enormously successful with global mobility leaders that are building the software-defined future,” said Rishi Dhall, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA. “Our ongoing collaboration with BYD is a testament to the industry’s confidence in DRIVE Orin as the centralised computer for today’s and tomorrow’s intelligent vehicles.”

NVIDIA and BYD share the belief that future cars will be programmable. It will evolve from being based on many embedded controllers to high-performance centralised computers. Its functionalities will be delivered and enhanced through software updates over the life of the car. The compute horsepower from DRIVE Orin is critical for diverse, redundant sensor processing in real time. In addition, it will provide automakers with the compute headroom to develop and support new software-driven services throughout the entire life of the vehicle.

Since entering production last year, DRIVE Orin—the highest-performance automotive-grade processor on the market—has become the transportation industry’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine of choice for the new generation of NEVs, robotaxis, shuttles and trucks. Designed to meet stringent industry safety standards, the scalable DRIVE Orin platform is capable of performing up to 254 trillion operations per second. This enables it to power AI cockpits. It also automates driving functions, simultaneously running numerous deep neural networks to provide the ultimate safety and reliability.

BYD also announced earlier this year that it is working with NVIDIA to enhance the in-vehicle experience. It will do so by bringing the NVIDIA GeForce NOW™ cloud gaming service to its vehicles.

With industry-leading technologies such as the Blade Battery, DM-i super hybrid technology and the e-platform, BYD has sold over 3.7 million NEVs globally as of February 2023, while creating a better mobility experience for consumers. It is the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles (NEVs).
