Nvidia and Uber Partner on Robotaxis

Nvidia and Uber announced a partnership to develop and scale a robotaxi fleet using Nvidia’s DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 platform, targeting an initial rollout beginning in 2027 and an eventual fleet goal of 100,000 vehicles. The Hyperion 10 reference architecture is built around dual DRIVE AGX Thor SoCs and a comprehensive sensor suite (cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasonics) designed for Level 4 redundancy and safety, and Nvidia plans an AI data factory plus a Halos certification program to support deployment. Automakers and suppliers including Stellantis, Foxconn, Lucid and Mercedes‑Benz will build AV‑ready platforms integrated with Nvidia and Foxconn systems, with Stellantis targeting start of production in 2028. Uber plans to deploy an initial 5,000 robotaxis in the U.S. as part of a broader global rollout, and the effort builds on earlier Nvidia–Uber cooperation to lower costs and accelerate commercial deployment. Observers note the targets are ambitious compared with current operators such as Waymo (~2,000 robotaxis) and that regulatory and timeline uncertainties remain.
