Stellantis has unveiled a collaboration with Nvidia, Uber Technologies and Foxconn to jointly develop and deploy Level 4 autonomous vehicles for robotaxi services across international markets.
The move builds on Stellantis’ recently disclosed agreement with Pony.ai to pilot autonomous vehicles in Europe and is framed by the company as a step towards broader adoption of driverless mobility.
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said: “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.”
Under the plans, Stellantis will design, engineer and manufacture driverless-capable models derived from its light commercial vehicles and STLA Small AV-Ready platforms, incorporating Nvidia’s Drive AV software to enable Level 4 operation.
Nvidia will supply its Drive AV stack, including L4 Parking and L4 Driving functions, running on the Nvidia Drive AGX Hyperion 10 architecture.
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said: “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.
“By combining Stellantis’ global scale with Nvidia Drive and Foxconn’s system integration, we’re creating a new class of purpose-built robotaxi fleets – making transportation safer, more accessible, and more affordable for everyone.”
Foxconn is set to work with Stellantis on hardware and systems integration.
Uber will manage the robotaxi services, adding Stellantis-built vehicles equipped with Nvidia Drive AV software to its fleet.
The company intends to introduce the autonomous vehicles in selected cities worldwide, beginning with 5,000 units and initial operations in the US.
Pilot schemes and testing are expected to increase over the next several years, with start of production targeted for 2028.
