Yamaha Motor Adopts Jetson AGX Xavier for Autonomous Machines for Land, Air and Sea

About NVIDIA
NVIDIA‘s (NASDAQ: NVDA) invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world.

Certain statements in this press release including, but not limited to, statements as to: Yamaha selecting NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier for its upcoming lineup of autonomous machines for unmanned agriculture vehicles, last-mile vehicles and marine products and its plan to make it the brain for a broad portfolio of intelligent machines; the benefits, performance, availability and abilities of NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier; Jetson AGX Xavier being a game changer for the robotics industry; Yamaha Motor’s use of Xavier enabling it to bring to market what once seemed impossible to create and, by standardizing its autonomous machine development platform on Jetson AGX Xavier, it being able transform all of its products with more intelligence to deliver excitement and the best experience for all users; the importance of automating processes with smart machinery; Yamaha Motor developing Jetson AGX Xavier-powered unmanned ground vehicles and drones to efficiently complete agricultural tasks, and its expectation to begin testing these devices in 2019 with a goal of a public launch shortly afterward; Yamaha Motor using Jetson AGX Xavier to create a fleet of autonomous last-mile vehicles to provide delivery services and to transport people, and the reasons why and the location where these vehicles will be targeted for use; the number of shoppers that require regular transportation increasing; and Yamaha Motor plans to use Jetson AGX Xavier to create autonomous vehicles for use cases such as deep-sea exploration robots for researchers and automated sailing of boats are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: global economic conditions; our reliance on third parties to manufacture, assemble, package and test our products; the impact of technological development and competition; development of new products and technologies or enhancements to our existing product and technologies; market acceptance of our products or our partners’ products; design, manufacturing or software defects; changes in consumer preferences or demands; changes in industry standards and interfaces; unexpected loss of performance of our products or technologies when integrated into systems; as well as other factors detailed from time to time in the most recent reports NVIDIA files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Copies of reports filed with the SEC are posted on the company’s website and are available from NVIDIA without charge. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, NVIDIA disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
