Stellantis to supply 5,000 Level 4 vehicles powered by Nvidia system to Uber

Uber Technologies (UBER) announced it is working with Nvidia (NVDA) to accelerate the next generation of robotaxi and autonomous delivery fleets using Nvidia AI Architecture. Through this partnership, Uber plans to “greatly expand its global autonomous fleets,” the company stated. “These vehicles will be developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and other Uber ecosystem partners, using the latest upgrades to the Nvidia DRIVE AGX Hyperion autonomous vehicle platform with the safety-certified Nvidia DriveOS operating system and full-stack Nvidia DRIVE AV software, purpose-built for Level 4 autonomy. As part of this effort, Stellantis (STLA) 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,” Uber stated. Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, said: “NVIDIA is the backbone of the AI era, and is now fully harnessing that innovation to unleash L4 autonomy at enormous scale, while 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.”
