Uber Technologies Inc. plans to “greatly expand” its robotaxi and autonomous delivery fleets through partnerships with chipmaker NVIDIA, automaker Stellantis, and a collection of self-driving technology providers, the firms said this week.
Uber and NVIDIA are working together to support a broad global Level 4 ecosystem—including Aurora, Avride, May Mobility, Momenta, Motional, Nuro, Pony.ai, Waabi, Wayve, and WeRide—to advance autonomy across passenger mobility, trucking, and delivery.
As part of this effort, Stellantis will be among the first OEMs to deliver at least 5,000 NVIDIA-DRIVE-powered L4 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.
“Robotaxis mark the beginning of a global transformation in mobility — making transportation safer, cleaner, and more efficient,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “Together with Uber, we’re creating a framework for the entire industry to deploy autonomous fleets at scale, powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure. What was once science fiction is fast becoming an everyday reality.”
