Stellantis Partners With NVIDIA, Uber, And Foxconn On Robotaxis

Stellantis is stepping deeper into the future of autonomous mobility with a new global collaboration alongside NVIDIA, Uber, and Foxconn. The partnership, announced on Tuesday, will focus on developing and deploying a new generation of Level 4 (driverless) robotaxis — vehicles capable of full self-driving operation without human input — across major cities worldwide.

This alliance marks a major step in Stellantis’ growing global robotaxi strategy, following the automaker’s recent partnership with Pony.ai to test autonomous vans in Europe. By joining forces with technology and mobility powerhouses, Stellantis aims to merge cutting-edge artificial intelligence, advanced vehicle platforms, and large-scale ride-hailing operations into one unified system.

A New Era Of Mobility –

The collaboration combines each company’s expertise to build a scalable and safe solution. Stellantis brings its global vehicle engineering and manufacturing know-how; NVIDIA contributes its autonomous driving software and AI computing; Foxconn offers hardware and system integration capabilities; and Uber provides its operational experience managing massive ride-hailing networks.

According to Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, “Autonomous mobility opens the door to new, more affordable transportation choices for customers. We have built AV-Ready Platforms to meet growing demand, and by partnering with leaders in AI, electronics, and mobility services, we aim to create a scalable solution that delivers smarter, safer, and more efficient mobility for everyone.”

Uber will initially deploy 5,000 Stellantis-built autonomous vehicles, starting operations in select U.S. cities before expanding globally. Pilot programs will begin ramping up over the next few years, with production targeted for 2028.

The Technology Behind The Vision –

The new robotaxis will be built using Stellantis’ AV-Ready Platforms, such as the K0 Medium Size Van and STLA Small, both powered by the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 architecture. This system integrates NVIDIA’s DriveOS operating system and full-stack DRIVE AV software, designed specifically for Level 4 autonomy.

NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang explained, “Level 4 autonomy isn’t just a milestone for the auto industry – it’s a leap in AI capability. The vehicle becomes a robot – one that sees, perceives, plans, and drives with superhuman precision.”

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu added, “Autonomous mobility is a strategic priority within Foxconn’s EV program. The strategic partnerships and strengths across NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber accelerate the deployment of Level 4 robotaxi technology, with Foxconn delivering HPC, sensor integration to enable a global rollout.”

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized NVIDIA’s role in enabling this next chapter of mobility: “NVIDIA is the backbone of the AI era and is now fully harnessing that innovation to unleash L4 autonomy at enormous scale, with Stellantis among the first to integrate NVIDIA’s technology for deployment on Uber.”

Looking Ahead –

The collaboration is formalized through a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that outlines future development, licensing, and vehicle production agreements. Each company retains the flexibility to pursue other autonomous-driving ventures as the industry evolves.

By integrating the strengths of global leaders in technology and transportation, Stellantis is positioning itself to become a serious player in the autonomous mobility space — bringing the idea of widespread, affordable robotaxi service one step closer to reality.
