Nvidia and Foxconn are joining forces to build “AI factories” that will accelerate the production of autonomous electric vehicles (EVs). Foxconn, known for manufacturing Apple’s iPhone, aims to capture 5% of the EV manufacturing market by 2025. The factories will incorporate cutting-edge manufacturing and AI systems to develop and improve EVs. Nvidia’s technologies, including Drive Thor and Drive Hyperion 9, will be central to this collaboration. The partnership signifies the importance of AI in the future of manufacturing.
Nvidia and Foxconn to build ‘AI factory’ to make EVs
Nvidia and Foxconn have announced a partnership to build ‘AI factories’ that will accelerate the production of autonomous electric vehicles (EVs). Foxconn, known for manufacturing Apple’s iPhone products, aims to capture 5% of the EV manufacturing market by 2025. These factories will combine cutting-edge manufacturing techniques with extensive AI processing to train the AI systems that control self-driving vehicles.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang explained that the factories will not only produce advanced EV cars with AI brains but also develop software for these cars. The factories will continuously receive data from autonomous vehicles in the field to improve the software and update the entire AI fleet. This data-driven approach will ensure that the AI systems become smarter over time.
Foxconn will utilize Nvidia’s HGX H100 platform and Grace Hopper GH200 Superchips as the core of its AI factories. The intelligence behind autonomous EV manufacturing and training will come from Nvidia’s Drive Thor and Drive Hyperion 9 platforms. Drive Thor is a powerful AI computer that centralizes the intelligence required for autonomous vehicles. Drive Hyperion 9 is Nvidia’s next-generation software-defined autonomous vehicle platform, equipped with advanced sensors.
In addition to the AV market, Foxconn will also leverage Nvidia’s Omniverse platform and Isaac and Metropolis frameworks in its electronic manufacturing operations. These advancements in edge AI and simulation enable the deployment of autonomous mobile robots and industrial robots in factories, reducing the need for human labor.
