Astemo Americas Inc. in Farmington Hills is collaborating with California’s NVIDIA as a Hyperion Tier 1 partner developing dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor electronic control units (ECUs) for automotive OEMs.
The move expands Astemo’s role in the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem and supports the industry’s move to Level-4 to software-defined ready vehicles from Level-2.
NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion is a reference architecture and ecosystem designed to help automakers develop and deploy highly automated and autonomous driving systems. Astemo Americas’ work will focus on dual SoC development based on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor, supporting the high-performance compute required for next-generation vehicle platforms.
Through the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem, Astemo Americas strengthens its role in the global shift toward software-defined, electrified, and increasingly autonomous vehicles.
As a DRIVE Hyperion Tier-1 partner developing ECUs for automotive OEMs, Astemo Americas is expected to bring its integration expertise in electrification, software-defined vehicle technologies, and advanced mobility systems to support automakers as they work to bring advanced autonomous driving technologies from development to production.
“Astemo’s electrification and software-defined vehicle capabilities are central to where mobility is headed,” says Mathieu Devillard, executive vice president and head of the Electrification Business Division for Astemo. “By joining the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem, we can help accelerate the development of advanced autonomous vehicle technologies while supporting automakers with scalable, cost-effective solutions.”
Rishi Dhall, vice president of automotive at NVIDIA, says, “As a DRIVE Hyperion Tier-1 ecosystem partner developing dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor ECUs for automotive OEMs, Astemo is helping bring scalable autonomous driving platforms closer to production.
Backed by decades of ADAS expertise, Astemo says it delivers functionally safe, OTA-ready technologies proven in real-world driving environments. Through its partnership with NVIDIA, the company enables SDV-ready intelligence powered by advanced AI compute for conversational AI and MPU workloads.
