NVIDIA is collaborating with Uber to build the world’s largest level 4 autonomous robotaxi network using its Drive AGX Hyperion 10 platform.
Under the partnership, Uber will be able to integrate human and robot drivers into one seamless global ride-hailing service, targeting a massive fleet of 100,000 vehicles starting in 2027.
Drive AGX Hyperion 10, based on the NVIDIA Drive AGX Thor AI chips, includes a comprehensive suite of sensors and advanced safety features certified for level 4 autonomy. It supports automakers such as Stellantis, Lucid and Mercedes-Benz, who are developing vehicles ready for autonomous robotaxi operations.
NVIDIA and Uber’s collaboration extends to creating an AI data factory leveraging the NVIDIA Cosmos platform to process vast amounts of driving data to accelerate autonomous vehicle development.
To ensure safety, NVIDIA also launched the Halos Certified Program, the automotive industry’s first AI safety certification system.
This endeavour places NVIDIA and Uber at the forefront of the robotaxi revolution, complementing similar initiatives such as Baidu’s Apollo Go, which operates robotaxi services in China and is expanding globally.
Other NVIDIA ecosystem partners pushing level 4 autonomy include Aurora, Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Pony.ai.
