From ride sharing, to high-performance racing, to autonomous vehicles, the automotive industry’s transformation demands compute that is efficient and scalable across cloud platforms, development labs and vehicles themselves.
Ampere® processors are becoming a foundation for automotive compute, delivering high performance per watt, predictable behavior, and cross-platform architectural consistency that accelerates innovation at every stage.
Uber on OCI: Scalable Cloud Compute for Real-Time Mobility
As one of the world’s largest mobility platforms, Uber must serve millions of trips every hour, managing real-time routing, dispatching, predictions and pricing at massive scale. Migrating a significant portion of its stateless workloads to Ampere-powered instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has allowed Uber to scale rapidly while driving operational efficiency and sustainability. Ampere compute shapes on OCI have helped Uber cut power consumption by 30% and unlock predictable, consistent performance while keeping pace with rapid global demand. With the latest AmpereOne® M-based A4 instances, Uber anticipates further performance gains and improved price-performance for its mission-critical workloads.
This cloud foundation enables Uber’s engineering teams to focus on innovation without the overhead of managing underlying infrastructure, freeing resources to enhance the customer experience.

Oracle Red Bull Racing: High-Performance Simulation at the Speed of Motorsport
In Formula One™, decisions are measured in milliseconds, and simulation throughput makes the difference between a good strategy and a race-winning one. Since moving its race strategy infrastructure to OCI powered by Ampere compute, Oracle Red Bull Racing has accelerated simulation speeds by double-digit percentages, enabling the team to rapidly test billions of scenarios and refine race-day tactics with greater agility.
For the 2025 season, the deployment of Ampere-powered compute shapes has further boosted strategic simulations, giving engineers the performance headroom to explore more scenarios and optimize decisions under intense track-side pressure — all while benefiting from the efficiency gains of Arm-based architecture.
While motorsport may seem far removed from everyday driving, the extreme compute demands and real-time analytics in F1 reflect broader automotive trends: complex simulations, AI-driven predictions and cloud-based workflows that must operate with precision and speed.
Avride: Real-Time Autonomous Compute Inside the Vehicle
Autonomy demands that vehicles interpret sensor data, plan motion and make safety-critical decisions in real time, all within the tight power and thermal constraints of a moving platform. Avride, a developer of autonomous vehicles operating in demanding urban environments like Austin and Dallas, turned to Ampere processors to power its main compute unit, the central brain that ingests sensor streams and executes autonomy workloads.
Ampere’s Arm-based architecture provides a balance of performance and power efficiency that fits within a vehicle’s thermal and electrical envelope. For Avride, this compute foundation enables real-world scalability and consistent operation in challenging conditions, where every watt saved can enhance capability.

Nissan: Unified Compute Across Development and Deployment
Ampere’s high-performance, power-efficient processors are playing a foundational role in supporting Nissan’s next-generation autonomous driving research at the Nissan Advanced Technology Center – Silicon Valley (NATC-SV). As Nissan advances its vision for Software-Defined Vehicles and intelligent mobility, Ampere technology is helping to power the compute infrastructure behind it.
A key differentiator for Nissan has been the ability to unify compute architecture, from development workstations and cloud-based test systems to in-vehicle prototypes. This consistency across environments accelerates software development life cycles, allows reuse of algorithms across platforms, and reduces the friction of moving from research to real road testing.
