Lucid Motors to use Nvidia's new Drive Hyperion platform

During yesterday's Nvidia keynote, the company announced its partnership with Lucid Motors and in turn, the automaker said that it will use Nvidia's new Drive Hyperion platform for self-driving for its current and future models.

The Hyperion platform is something like Tesla's custom Full Self-Driving chip and allows manufacturers to tune their driving features. The platform should enable some advanced driver-assistance systems, automated parking and autonomous driving.

Lucid Motors is already selling its Lucid Air EV and the higher tiers such as the Dream Edition and the Grand Touring are equipped with 14 cameras, 5 radars, 12 ultrasonic and LiDAR sensors so implementing Nvidia's new platform will have plenty of data to work with.

The company's future SUV called Project Gravity is expected to arrive sometime in 2024 and will likely be the first to use Nvidia's Drive Hyperion platform from its launch.
