Tuesday\u2019s presentation underscored the importance of China\u2019s dynamic EV sector to the U.S. chip company\u2019s effort to expand its automotive business, now a small part of its total annual revenue, projected at more than $26 billion.<br \/>\nNvidia is also looking for growth in the emerging automated truck business, and earlier Tuesday said robo-truck developer TuSimple will use Nvidia chips to develop self-driving semi trucks.<br \/>\nNvidia must navigate through U.S.-China tensions, and Chinese regulations that effectively prohibit data generated by vehicles in China from being exported. Nvidia uses Chinese partners and Chinese data centers to assure data used to train the artificial intelligence in cars stays in China, said Danny Shapiro, Nvidia\u2019s vice president for automotive.<br \/>\nAutomakers new and old are racing to match the software-powered features pioneered by Tesla, which can change the way vehicles perform, the range of the battery or the level of self-driving capability via over-the-air updates.<br \/>\nHigh-powered on-board computers are essential to what the industry calls \u201csoftware driven vehicles.\u201d That is creating new markets for companies such as Nvidia, whose core business is designing powerful chips for data processing centers and videogame equipment.<br \/>\n(Reporting by Joseph White and Stephen Nellis; Editing by Mark Potter)<\/p>\n<p>This data comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaintel.asia\/\" title=\"MediaIntel.Asia provides Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring in Asia\" >MediaIntel.Asia's Media Intelligence and Media Monitoring Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joseph White and Stephen Nellis<br \/>\nSAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) \u2013 U.S. high performance chip maker Nvidia Corp said Tuesday it has landed more deals with Chinese electric vehicle makers that want to use the company\u2019s technology to power software-driven fea&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":253,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[639,144,194,78,1542],"tags":[8755,10132,6601,3472,1804,6389,10578,7327,6944,10504],"class_list":["post-133458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-california","category-china","category-news-chinese-law","category-software","category-technology","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-automotive","tag-china-technology","tag-chinese","tag-computer","tag-electric-vehicle","tag-flex","tag-revenue","tag-tesla","tag-xpeng"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/253"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":133459,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133458\/revisions\/133459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chinalegalblog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
