As carmakers increasingly aim to roll out automated driving features with the proliferation of roboticaxis and self-driving vehicles – Nvidia has launched its latest set of compute and sensor toolkits. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang revealed the Hyperion 8 stack at his GTC event. Hyperion 8 is a platform that includes the sensors, compute and software needed for the 2024 model.
The Hyperion 8 is the latest iteration of the end-to-end Nvidia Drive platform that automakers can customize to suit their needs. Hyperion 8 was first announced on 8 April to supply 12 cameras, nine radars and a LiDAR that is part of the platform. Nvidia has tied up with Luminar to provide LiDAR, and Continental, Sony and Valero are supplying sensors for the Hyperion 8.
“The opportunity here is that as Nvidia’s systems are designed (for production vehicles), we are also ultimately designed,” said Austin Russell, Luminar’s founder and CEO.
The Hyperion 8 is basically a turnkey solution that Nvidia sells to automakers dabbling in self-driving technology. It enables core compute, middleware and AI functions on top. The announcement also ties in with Nvidia’s acquisition of DeepMap, an AI-based platform that can replicate real-time maps with great accuracy and realism.

It also acts as a personal concierge product that provides an automated driving system, communication between passengers and can handle parking. It all now fits into the Hyperion 8 stack.

“We don’t expect 100% market share, but we do have a major share of the market that is developing on Nvidia drives,” Danny Shapiro, vice president of automotive at Nvidia, said in a briefing before GTC.

“And the reason is, because we have this whole end-to-end solution. It’s not just about the one thing that goes into the car but it’s about the data center, it’s about the simulation, It’s about the vehicle, and it’s about having a huge advantage over the same architecture,” he said.
