Good news for car lovers: Two acclaimed auto shows, taking place now through next week, are delighting attendees with displays of next-generation automotive designs powered by AI.
Hundreds of thousands of auto enthusiasts worldwide are expected to visit Guangzhou, China — known as the city of flowers — to attend its auto show, running through Sunday, Nov. 26. The event will feature new developments in electric vehicles (EVs) and automated driving, with 1,100 vehicles on display.
And across the world, in the city of angels, the Los Angeles Auto Show is expected to reach its highest-ever attendee numbers. Also running through Nov. 26, the show will include classic and exotic cars from private collections, as well as a public test track where attendees can get behind the wheel of the latest EVs.
Auto Guangzhou
One of the most anticipated reveals is from Lotus, which is showcasing its new fully electric Emeya Hyper-GT that launched in September. This stunning luxury vehicle with sports-car agility achieves an impressive suite of intelligent features, powered by dual NVIDIA DRIVE Orin processors. The high-performance processing power enables drivers to enjoy the car’s safe and secure driving capabilities and supports future features through over-the-air (OTA) updates.
With an eye on safety, Emeya carries 34 state-of-the-art surround sensors for diverse and redundant sensor data processing in real time — giving drivers added confidence when behind the wheel. With DRIVE Orin embedded in the back of the vehicle, Emeya delivers advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) capabilities and also offers the built-in headroom to support an autonomous future.
Emeya Hyper-GT is built on Lotus’ innovative Electric Premium Architecture, which underpins the Eletre Hyper-SUV as well, also powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Orin.
