NVIDIA (NVDA) Unveils DRIVE AGX Thor Developer Kit for Smarter, Safer Autonomous Vehicles

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the best stocks to invest in according to billionaire George Soros. On August 27, NVIDIA announced the global rollout of its DRIVE AGX Thor developer kit, now available for preorder with deliveries beginning in September.

Built on the Blackwell architecture, Arm Neoverse V3AE CPUs, and DriveOS 7, the kit is engineered for advanced autonomous vehicle development using reasoning vision-language-action models, generative AI, and high-performance sensors. It supports automotive-grade interfaces like GbE/10GbE and PCI-Express, and complies with ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 safety and cybersecurity standards.

The DRIVE AGX Thor ecosystem is rapidly expanding, with adoption by major automakers including BYD, Volvo Cars, Li Auto, and Xiaomi, as well as AV innovators like DeepRoute.ai, Nuro, and WeRide. Tier 1 suppliers such as Magna and Continental Automotive are delivering production systems, while sensor leaders like OMNIVISION and QNX offer integration support. Complementing this is NVIDIA Halos—a comprehensive safety framework spanning AI training (via DGX), simulation (Omniverse and Cosmos on OVX), and deployment (DRIVE AGX)—ensuring end-to-end safety from cloud to car.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a technology company that designs and develops graphics processing units used for gaming, creative workloads, and edge computing. Its chips are at the center of powering the artificial intelligence revolution.
