Aptiv and NVIDIA expand collaboration to deliver production-ready edge AI platforms with long-term commercial support

Aptiv and NVIDIA are deepening collaboration to evolve NVIDIA Jetson platforms—including next-generation Jetson Thor—into commercially supported, production-ready edge AI systems for industrial automation, robotics, aerospace and defense, automotive, and telecommunications.

Key initiatives include long-term support for meta-tegra board support packages, a Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) ready Yocto platform for compliance, alignment with mainline Yocto Project and Wind River Linux to reduce fragmentation, and production-ready foundation for Jetson Thor with long-term support to enable customers to move directly from development to production.

The collaboration addresses critical barriers to production deployment: long-term lifecycle support, continuous CVE monitoring and security patching, CRA-ready platforms, and stable, production-grade Linux environments for edge AI deployments across distributed environments.
