Stellantis, Wayve, and Uber Sign Global Level 4 Robotaxi Agreement

Stellantis, Wayve, and Uber announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding on June 17, 2026, to jointly develop and deploy Level 4 driverless robotaxi services across Europe, North America, and other regions.ansa

A Three-Way Division of Labor

Under the agreement, each company brings a distinct capability to the partnership. Stellantis will design, engineer, and manufacture vehicles using its L4-Ready Platforms, which integrate sensor suites and safety redundancies required for high-intensity driverless operations. Wayve, the London-based AI driving startup, will supply its end-to-end autonomous driving software, which the company says can adapt to new cities without requiring high-definition maps for each location. Uber will deploy the vehicles through its global ride-hailing network, connecting passengers to autonomous rides via its app.sina

The three companies plan to collaborate on vehicle integration, testing, validation, and deployment, with the goal of bringing services to cities across multiple continents.streetinsider

Building on Existing Partnerships

The trilateral agreement deepens a web of bilateral relationships already linking the three firms. In May 2026, Stellantis and Wayve announced a strategic technology partnership to integrate Wayve’s AI Driver into the STLA AutoDrive platform for Level 2++ supervised automated driving, with a first vehicle launch planned in North America in 2028. Separately, Wayve and Uber have been advancing Level 4 trials in London — where Uber opened an interest list for robotaxi rides in early June — and signed an MoU with Nissan in March 2026 to pilot robotaxis in Tokyo by late this year.wayve

Uber has committed up to $300 million in milestone-based capital to support Wayve’s multi-city robotaxi rollout, which targets more than ten cities globally.thenextweb

Competitive Landscape

The announcement places the Stellantis-Wayve-Uber trio alongside a separate consortium that Stellantis formed in late 2025 with NVIDIA, Uber, and Foxconn to develop NVIDIA-software-driven Level 4 robotaxis, with Stellantis planning to supply at least 5,000 vehicles for Uber operations. The MoU is non-binding and leaves each partner free to pursue additional autonomous driving alliances independently.yahoo
