Nvidia is partnering with Uber to scale the world’s largest level 4-ready mobility network using the company’s next-generation robotaxi and autonomous delivery fleets, the new Nvidia Drive AGX Hyperion 10 autonomous vehicle (AV) development platform, and Nvidia Drive AV software which is purpose-built for L4 autonomy.
By enabling faster growth across the level 4 ecosystem, Nvidia can support Uber in scaling its global autonomous fleet to 100 000 vehicles over time – starting in 2027. These vehicles will be developed in collaboration with Nvidia and other Uber ecosystem partners using Nvidia Drive.
The two companies are also working together to develop a data factory accelerated by the Nvidia Cosmos world foundation model development platform to curate and process data needed for autonomous vehicle development.
Nvidia Drive AGX Hyperion 10 is a reference production computer and sensor set architecture that makes any vehicle L4-ready. It enables automakers to build cars, trucks, and vans equipped with validated hardware and sensors that can host any compatible autonomous-driving software and provides a unified foundation for safe, scalable and AI-defined mobility.
Uber is bringing together human drivers and autonomous vehicles into a single operating network – a unified ride-hailing service including both human and robot drivers. This network, powered by Nvidia Drive AGX Hyperion-ready vehicles and the surrounding AI ecosystem, enables Uber to seamlessly bridge today’s human-driven mobility with the autonomous fleets of tomorrow.
“Robotaxis mark the beginning of a global transformation in mobility – making transportation safer, cleaner, and more efficient,” says Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of 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.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, adds: “Nvidia is the backbone of the AI era and is now fully harnessing that innovation to unleash L4 autonomy at enormous scale while also making it easier for Nvidia-empowered AVs to be deployed on Uber. Autonomous mobility will transform our cities for the better, and we’re thrilled to partner with Nvidia to help make that vision a reality.”
