Cyngn’s Next-Gen DriveMod Kit Will Harness Nvidia AI Computers

MENLO PARK, Calif., January 25, 2024 – Cyngn Inc. (the “Company” or “Cyngn”) (Nasdaq: CYN) today announced a strategic shift to Nvidia AI computers that will revolutionize the technology powering its fleet of DriveMod autonomous industrial vehicles. Following the path Tesla took with its Autopilot hardware, the company is embarking on an innovative initiative to transition from Intel microprocessors to Nvidia AI computers. This transformation will encompass the entire DriveMod lineup, including the DriveMod Tugger, the DriveMod Stockchaser, and the DriveMod Forklift.

 The decision to adopt Nvidia AI computers is driven by Cyngn's commitment to enhancing both the efficiency and capability of its vehicles while concurrently reducing production costs. The unparalleled processing power and advanced development ecosystem offered by Nvidia's computers align with Cyngn's vision for the future of robotic autonomous platforms.

Commenting on the initiative, Cyngn's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Lior Tal, emphasized the forward-thinking nature of Nvidia's AI computers, stating, “Nvidia’s computers are the platforms of the future. By integrating them into our vehicles, we will not only see a reduction in power consumption but also a significant decrease in cost as we reduce the number of components in our DriveMod system. We are convinced that Nvidia’s AI computers are the clear winner when it comes to powering advanced robotics platforms like DriveMod. This initiative is in line with our continuous investment in R&D as evident from our rapidly growing patent portfolio.”

As Cyngn embraces this transformative journey, we believe the integration of Nvidia computers into its DriveMod vehicles signifies a bold step towards a future where innovation and efficiency converge to redefine the landscape of robotic technologies. The company remains dedicated to pushing boundaries and delivering cutting-edge solutions that elevate the performance and safety of its autonomous vehicles in the field.
