By integrating the Tegra automotive-grade processor, Honda becomes the 19th global automaker to utilize NVIDIA technology for in-vehicle infotainment applications. The announcement coincided with the first glimpse of these Honda models at the 2014 Mondial de l'Automobile (Paris Auto Show).

"Honda is bringing NVIDIA's advanced mobile technology to an important new segment of vehicles," said Rob Csongor, vice president and general manager for Automotive at NVIDIA.

"Inside these Honda models, the NVIDIA Tegra solution leverages Android to deliver an open, flexible infotainment platform. One that bridges the world of smartphone apps and the requirements of the automotive industry but, most importantly, does so in a way that makes driving safer."

NVIDIA and Honda worked together to integrate Android 4.0.4 as the embedded operating system in the 2015 Honda Civic, Civic Tourer and CR-V. NVIDIA brings its extensive experience working with Android in gaming, tablet and TV platforms to automotive applications.

There are currently over 6 million cars with NVIDIA processors on the road today. Another 25 million NVIDIA processors are expected to be integrated into vehicles over the next 5 years.
