Aptiv and NVIDIA Expand Collaboration for Production-Ready Edge AI with Long-Term Support
Aptiv announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to deliver commercially supported, production-ready edge AI platforms based on NVIDIA Jetson, including Jetson Thor, with long-term lifecycle support.
What Happened
Aptiv and NVIDIA are deepening their collaboration to evolve NVIDIA Jetson platforms into commercially supported, production-ready edge AI systems. The companies are focusing on long-term lifecycle support, including security patching and compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act, to help developers scale edge AI across industries such as industrial automation, robotics, aerospace, and automotive.
- Long-term support for meta-tegra board support packages with commercial lifecycle management and security updates
- A Cyber Resilience Act-ready Yocto platform to simplify compliance and reduce financial and liability risks
- Alignment with mainline Yocto Project and Wind River Linux to reduce fragmentation and enable scalable long-term support
- Production-ready foundation for Jetson Thor with long-term support for direct transition from development to production
- Go-to-market initiatives to streamline adoption of commercially supported Jetson platforms for embedded systems
“The next wave of AI innovation will be defined by what happens at the intelligent edge. Successfully enabling that demands more than just powerful hardware - it requires a stable software foundation designed for long-term deployment.”
Why this matters
This partnership aims to address key barriers to deploying edge AI in industries like automation and robotics by providing stable, secure software foundations and long-term maintenance, reducing risk and complexity for developers.
