The US Commerce Department has all but shut down Nvidia’s AI processor business in China, but its DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip ( SoC ) for electric autonomous vehicles is still very popular. &nbsp,

Nvidia’s mechanical revenues, which are currently running at a rate of over US$ 1 billion per month, are boosted by more than 12 corporate users in China. &nbsp,

At the 21st Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition, which took place from November 17 to 26, a number of Nvidia’s Chinese clients displayed their brand-new electric vehicles ( EVs ), including Denza, Human Horizons, Ji Yue, NIO, XPeng, Zeekr, and BYD. &nbsp,

A key system for clever vehicles called the Nvidia DRIVE Orin SoC can perform 254 trillion procedures per minute. DRIVE Orin enables instantaneous and redundant processing of data from exterior and interior cameras, radar, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors. It can be scaled from Level 2 advanced driving assistance systems ( ADAS ) to Level 5 fully autonomous vehicles.

Denza displayed its energy N7 SUV, which sits in the middle of the Model X and Y models made by Tesla. Denza’s custom Commuter Smart Driving system, which enables high-speed navigation, speed-limit and lane-keeping control, automatic emergency braking, top cross-traffic alert, and parking assistance, is controlled by DRIVE Orin. A joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz is called Denza.

The HiPhi Y SUV from Human Horizons Technology was displayed. It has touch-free electricity doors, night vision, and street analysis. Human Horizons, with its headquarters in Shanghai, creates Batteries and autonomous driving systems. &nbsp,

It has activities facilities in Munich and Oslo in addition to an R&amp, D facility in Tokyo. Top executives of the company have experience working for automakers in China, the United States, Japan, and Europe.

Ji Yue, a collaboration between automaker Geely and Baidu, an expert in internet and artificial intelligence ( AI), unveiled its brand-new Robocar JiYue 1. It combines Geely technology with Baidu’s application technologies, including an engaging vocal help system called SIMO, and was introduced in late October. &nbsp,

Its ROBO Drive Max assisted and autonomous driving features, which are offered as a monthly subscription services to facilitate technology upgrades, include street changing and cross-lane turns, on and off corridor moving, obstacle avoidance, identification of pedestrians, and voice-activated automatic parking.

Eight types with Banyan, NIO’s Smart Digital System, and Adam, a machine system with four Nvidia DRIVE Orin SoCs, were included in the show. NIO also provides technology upgrades. &nbsp,

The company’s headquarters are in Shanghai, but Nanjing, Munich, Oxford, and San Jose are home to its innovative engineering R&amp, D center, as well as its worldwide design center.

The brand-new X9 energy minivan, electric G6 car, P7i sedan, and G9 four-door were all displayed by xPeng. With its headquarters in Guangzhou, XPeng has R&amp, D locations, companies, and transportation and other support facilities in China as well as in California and California. &nbsp,

Zeekr unveiled the 007 as its first electrical coupe. Zeekr, with its headquarters in Zhejiang, also produces an electric SUV, car, and station wagon for” shooting brakes.” &nbsp,

In November, it unveiled its first European store in Stockholm. Geely Automotive Holdings, which likewise owns Volvo, is the owner of Zeeker. It was established in 2021 to rival Tesla and NIO. &nbsp,

BYD displayed its entire line-up of fresh energy vehicles, but its attention was drawn to the introduction of its e4 system, off-road SUV Yangwang U8, and” supercar,” which has a two-second acceleration time of 0 to 100 km/h. &nbsp,

A fresh advanced BYD brand is called Yangwang. The e4 Program is the first system for four-motor separate drive technology that has been mass-produced in China.

The Nvidia DRIVE Orin centralized system system may be extended by BYD to new designs in its Dynasty and Ocean electronic car line, the company announced in March. &nbsp,

The two businesses stated at the time that they” reveal the belief that coming vehicles will be customizable, evolving from being based on numerous integrated controllers to high-performance consolidated computers- with functionalities delivered and enhanced through program updates over the life of the vehicle.”

DeepRoute, a Nvidia DRIVE habitat partner. Ai was likewise present at the exhibition, showcasing its DeepRoute- Drivers 3.0 computerized driving solution for Level 4 automatic driving in challenging urban settings, inclement weather, and other conditions. Most of the time, Level 4 cars run on their own, but the vehicle can still be in charge. &nbsp,

DeepRoute- Driver 3.0 is not typically restricted to a particular operational area ( geofenced ). DeepRoute. Robotaxis and cosmopolitan logistics are ai’s areas of expertise. Its two offices are in Shenzhen and Fremont, California, respectively.

In Guangzhou, there were more than 400 electronic, hybrid, and other new energy vehicles on display, of which about 60 were initially displayed to the general public. &nbsp,

According to Canalys technology market research, China is currently the world’s top auto market and is about 50 % larger than the US market in terms of the adoption of advanced technology. In the first half of 2023, 55 % of all electric vehicles sold worldwide were sold in China. &nbsp,

At the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition next April, another Nvidia DRIVE users, such as SAIC, GAC Aion, Li Auto, IM Motors, Baidu, Desay SV, Momenta, Volvo, and Lotus, displayed their Batteries and related items. &nbsp,

SAIC, Alibaba, and the Zhangjiang Group formed the cooperative venture known as IM Motors. The Zhangjiang Group, which is situated in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area, is in charge of overseeing the development of the Shanghai Science City. &nbsp,

It serves as a hub for R&amp, D schools, facilities, colleges, and private businesses with an area of 95 square km. &nbsp,

Momenta is a Beijing-based ADAS program developer that is funded by SAIC, GM, Toyota, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, and another Chinese and overseas investors. It was founded by CEO Cao Xudong, who was formerly an employee of Microsoft Research. With its main office in Huizhou, Guangdong, Saya SV manufactures in-vehicle devices.

The Arm Hercules CPU cores, heavy studying, and computer vision accelerators are all combined in the Nvidia DRIVE OrinSoC. It has grown to be an essential component of the Chinese EV industry’s assisted and intelligent driving systems. &nbsp,

It has not yet been the target of US punishment, in contrast to Nvidia’s AI chips for data centres, which were initially the A100 and H100 before being followed by an A800 and an H800. &nbsp,
