NVIDIA & MediaTek Team up to Transform Automobiles With AI & Accelerated Computing

Taiwan's MediaTek has announced a partnership with NVIDIA to deliver a complete range of in-vehicle AI cabin solutions for the next generation of software-defined vehicles. The collaboration combines the strength of each company's automotive portfolios to bring new experiences inside the car to drivers and passengers .

Through this collaboration, MediaTek will develop automotive SoCs integrating a new NVIDIA GPU chiplet with NVIDIA AI and graphics IP. 

MediaTek's smart cabin solutions will run NVIDIA DRIVE OS, DRIVE IX, CUDA and TensorRT software technologies — delivering a full range of AI cabin and cockpit functions with cutting-edge graphics, AI, safety and security features.

This partnership also makes more in-vehicle infotainment options available to automakers on the NVIDIA DRIVE platform.

MediaTek Incorporated (TWSE: 2454) is a global fabless semiconductor company that enables nearly 2 billion connected devices a year. 

Rick Tsai, Vice Chairman and CEO of MediaTek, says: "NVIDIA is a world-renowned pioneer and industry leader in AI and computing. With this partnership, our collaborative vision is to provide a global one-stop shop for the automotive industry, designing the next generation of intelligent, always-connected vehicles. Through this special collaboration with NVIDIA, we will together be able to offer a truly unique platform for the compute intensive, software-defined vehicle of the future."

"AI and accelerated computing are fueling the transformation of the entire auto industry," adds Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "The combination of MediaTek's industry-leading SoC and NVIDIA's GPU and AI software technologies will enable new user experiences, enhanced safety and new connected services for all vehicle segments, from luxury to mainstream."

For well over a decade, automakers have been turning to NVIDIA to help modernise their vehicle cockpits, using its technology for infotainment systems, graphical user interfaces and touchscreens.
