Uber   on   Tuesday announced   a partnership   with Nvidia   to accelerate the next generation of robotaxi and autonomous delivery fleets using Nvidia   AI Architecture. Through the   partnership, Uber   plans   to scale the world ’ s largest level 4-ready mobility network.

These vehicles will be developed in collaboration with Nvidia   and other Uber ecosystem partners, using the   new   Nvidia   Drive   AGX Hyperion   10   autonomous vehicle ( AV )   platform with the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system and full-stack Nvidia   DRIVE AV software, purpose-built for Level 4 autonomy.

Nvidia   DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 is a reference compute and sensor architecture that makes any vehicle level 4-ready, enabling automakers and developers to build safe, scalable, AI-defined fleets.   The platform features the Nvidia   DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-a-chip; the NVIDIA DriveOS   operating system; a fully qualified multimodal sensor suite including 14 high-definition cameras; nine radars, one lidar and 12 ultrasonics; and a qualified board design.

As   part of collaboration, Stellantis NV.   will be among the first   Original Equipment Manufacturers   ( OEMs )   to deliver at least 5,000 Nvidia-DRIVE-powered level 4 vehicles to Uber for robotaxi operations in the United States and internationally. Uber will oversee end-to-end fleet operations, including remote assistance, charging, cleaning, maintenance, and customer support.

Stellantis   announced   a "new collaboration" with firms including Nvidia, Foxconn, and Uber   to launch its own robotaxi service.   Amon   the partners, Stellantis will produce vehicles, Nvidia will install the autonomous   systems,   Foxconn   will   work on hardware and systems integration, and Uber will deploy them on its ride-hailing platform.  

Nvidia said leading global automakers,   robotaxi   companies   and tier   1   suppliers are already with the company and Uber   to launch level   4 feets with Nvidia   AI.  

Stellantis is developing AV-Ready Platforms, specifically optimized to support level 4 capabilities and meet robotaxi requirements. These platforms will integrate Nvidia ’ s full-stack AI technology, further expanding connectivity with Uber ’ s global mobility ecosystem. Stellantis is also collaborating with Foxconn on hardware and systems integration.   Stellantis says production   for these new vehicles is poised to start   in   2028.  

Lucid is advancing level 4 autonomous capabilities for its next-generation passenger vehicles, also using full-stack Nvidia AV software on the DRIVE Hyperion platform for its upcoming U.S. models.

Mercedes-Benz is testing future collaboration with industry-leading partners powered by its proprietary operation system MB.OS and DRIVE AGX Hyperion. Building on its legacy of innovation, the new S-Class offers an exceptional chauffeured level 4 experience combining luxury, safety and cutting-edge autonomy.

Nvidia   and Uber will continue to support and accelerate shared partners across the worldwide level 4 ecosystem developing their software stacks on the Nvidia DRIVE level 4 platform, including Avride, May Mobility, Momenta, Nuro, Pony.ai, Wayve and WeRide.

Nvidia also launches the Halos Certified Program, the industry ’ s first system to evaluate and certify physical AI safety for autonomous vehicles and robotics.   Companies such as AUMOVIO, Bosch, Nuro and Wayve are among the inaugural members of the Nvidia   Halos AI System Inspection Lab — the industry ’ s first to be accredited by the ANSI Accreditation Board.   The lab   performs independent evaluations and oversees the new Halos Certified Program,   aiming to accelerate the safe, large-scale deployment of Level 4 automated driving and other AI-powered systems.
