While JLR did not commit to the vehicles being fully autonomous because of the lack of clarity into regulatory requirements at that time, the systems will be designed for the highest level of functionality and safety, including active safety measures, automated driving and parking, and driver and occupant monitoring.
While JLR plans to use its internally developed operating system, the platform will use the entire Nvidia Drive IX software stack. Additionally, JLR will be working with Nvidia to develop AI-enabled software-defined services for consumers. The announcement, however, is not limited to vehicles. JLR will also be leveraging Nvidia’s data centers built on the company’s DGX supercomputers to train and validate autonomous driving solutions using Drive Sim. According to the two companies, engineers from both companies are already working together virtually using Nvidia’s Omniverse collaboration platform.
While the announcement did not include any mention of the future infotainment systems or other platforms from Tata Motors, it is likely that JLR will leverage additional Nvidia technologies in future systems and could migrate those solutions down to other Tata Motors platforms over time.
