Nvidia signs global partners to scale robotaxi platform

Nvidia DRIVE Hyperion Expands Robotaxi Ecosystem With Global Partners

Nvidia announced a sweeping expansion of its DRIVE Hyperion robotaxi platform at GTC Taipei on Sunday, signing on partners across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East in a bid to establish itself as the sole provider of a level 4-ready autonomous vehicle platform for the global automotive industry.nvidia

New Deployments Span Three Continents

Foxconn is expanding its collaboration with Nvidia to develop and deploy level 4-ready robotaxi fleets in Taiwan, with Kaohsiung expected to serve as an early deployment city. Foxconn plans to launch a robotaxi service in 2028, starting with airport-to-city routes and later expanding along corridors linked to Taiwan’s high-speed rail network.nvidia

“Autonomous mobility is a strategic focus of Foxconn’s EV initiative,” said Young Liu, chairman of Foxconn. “We are accelerating the deployment of level 4 robotaxi technology, with Foxconn providing high-performance computing and sensor integration to enable a worldwide rollout across communities and cities.”nvidia

VinFast is working with Autobrains to bring level 4 vehicles built on DRIVE Hyperion to Southeast Asia, while Uber and Autobrains are launching a robotaxi program in Munich later this year, integrating Autobrains’ agentic AI autonomous driving software. HUMAIN, the Saudi AI company, is working to deploy DRIVE Hyperion-powered robotaxis in Saudi Arabia.businesswire

Nvidia’s Platform Play

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang framed the announcement as the beginning of an industrial scaling moment for autonomous mobility. “Vehicles are becoming robots, and robotaxi fleets will require AI infrastructure that can perceive, reason and operate safely in the real world,” Huang said. “NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion gives the world’s automakers, AV developers and mobility networks a common level 4-ready foundation.”nvidia

The platform combines Nvidia’s DRIVE AGX in-vehicle compute, the safety-certified DriveOS operating system, a multimodal sensor suite, and DRIVE AV software purpose-built for autonomous driving.nvidia

Building on Earlier Partnerships

The announcement extends a collaboration first revealed in October 2025, when Stellantis partnered with Nvidia, Uber, and Foxconn to explore the joint deployment of 5,000 level 4 autonomous vehicles for robotaxi services in the United States, with production targeted for 2028. The latest expansion adds new geographies and partners, positioning Nvidia’s platform as the common thread connecting automakers, AV software developers, and ride-hailing networks worldwide.stellantis
