The Hyundai Motor Group and Nvidia are expanding their collaboration. According to the manufacturer, the supplier's technology will improve the automated driving systems of all Group brands. To this end, the existing partnership model is to be expanded.

The assistance systems (Level 2) for the Hyundai and Kia brands are to benefit from Nvidia's expertise. According to the announcement, the existing E/E and software architectures (software-defined vehicle, SDV) are to be expanded accordingly.

SDV Platform for Levels 2 to 4

The company "Motional" plays a central role in highly automated driving. The joint venture converts Hyundai production models into robotaxis. Nvidia is to help improve the level 4 functions of these vehicles.

Building on the Drive Hyperion platform, Hyundai will develop a scalable SDV architecture for automated driving from level 2 to 4. The OEM wants to use this approach to establish a continuous data cycle. It should:

Capture real-world driving data across the Hyundai Motor Group's entire vehicle fleet
Train AI models and continuously improve performance
Implementing and validating new functions in series production vehicles
