Foxconn and Nvidia are building 'AI factories' to accelerate self-driving cars | TechCrunch

Oct 18, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Nvidia and Foxconn are collaborating to build AI factories, a new type of data center that aims to accelerate the development of self-driving cars, autonomous machines, and industrial robots. The AI factory will use Nvidia's GPU computing infrastructure to process large amounts of data into valuable AI models. This partnership builds on a previous agreement between Nvidia and Foxconn to develop autonomous vehicle platforms, with Foxconn becoming a primary supplier of electronic control units for automakers, built with Nvidia's Drive Orin system-on-a-chip.

The AI factories will also have applications beyond self-driving cars. Foxconn aims to transform itself from a manufacturing service company to a platform solutions company by scaling the AI factories across various industries, targeting smart EVs, smart cities, and smart manufacturing. The factories will be based on Nvidia’s GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and AI Enterprise software.

Key takeaways:

  • Nvidia and Foxconn are collaborating to build AI factories, a new class of data centers aimed at accelerating the development of self-driving cars, autonomous machines, and industrial robots.
  • The AI factory is based on an Nvidia GPU computing infrastructure that will process and refine data into valuable AI models and information.
  • Foxconn will manufacture electronic control units (ECUs) with Nvidia’s Drive Orin system-on-a-chip (SoC) and Drive Thor, Nvidia’s next-gen SoC, for autonomous vehicle platforms.
  • Foxconn aims to transform itself from a manufacturing service company to a platform solutions company by scaling the AI factories across various industries, including smart EVs, smart cities, and smart manufacturing.
