NVIDIA’s next move in autonomous driving is a partnership with Uber, Stellantis, Lucid and Mercedes-Benz

NVIDIA has entered a partnership with Uber to equip more of the rideshare company’s vehicles with its autonomous driving infrastructure. The deal centers on NVIDIA’s Drive AGX Hyperion 10 autonomous vehicle development platform, a computer and sensor system that can make any vehicle capable of level 4 self-driving, as well as its Drive software. According to the press release, this partnership will see Uber’s global fleet of autonomous vehicles growing to 100,000 vehicles over time, beginning in 2027.

Several notable auto brands are also collaborating with NVIDIA on the push toward developing truly autonomous vehicles. Stellantis, Lucid and Mercedes-Benz are working on vehicles that would support NVIDIA’s L4 technology. Aurora, Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Waabi are pursuing work on implementing Drive AGX Hyperion 10 into long-haul freight vehicles.
