NVIDIA begins domestic sales of its next-generation automotive platform, the DRIVE AGX Thor Developer Kit – providing automotive computing that integrates AV, cockpit, and IVI into a single system.
Our company has begun domestic sales of the DRIVE AGX Thor Developer Kit, which is equipped with the next-generation automotive SoC "DRIVE Thor" developed by NVIDIA Corporation (hereinafter referred to as NVIDIA).
"DRIVE Thor" is a high-performance automotive computing platform based on NVIDIA's latest architecture, "Blackwell," which simultaneously runs advanced driver assistance and in-car infotainment applications on a single, safe, and reliable system. In Japan, sales are limited to select trading companies.
With a maximum computing performance of 2,000 FP4 (1,000 INT8) TFLOPS, it integrates functions that were previously distributed across multiple devices into a single chip, enabling high-speed and secure AI processing within vehicles.
As a leading electronics trading company in the automotive sector, we are a world-class authorized distributor of NVIDIA. Based on our extensive knowledge of automotive semiconductors, we support the development of next-generation mobility for domestic automobile manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers by providing support for the introduction of the DRIVE AGX Thor Developer Kit, technical support, and proof-of-concept (PoC) environments.
