Stellantis has announced a partnership with Nvidia, Uber and Foxconn to explore the joint development and deployment of Level 4 driverless vehicles for robotaxi fleets around the world.
The move deepens Stellantis’ presence in autonomous mobility and follows its recent agreement with Pony.ai to trial similar technology in Europe.
The companies plan to combine their respective strengths, including Stellantis’ vehicle engineering and manufacturing capability, Nvidia’s autonomous driving software and AI computing, Foxconn’s electronics and systems integration, and Uber’s ride hailing operations.
The collaboration will use Stellantis’ AV-Ready platforms based on the K0 light commercial vehicle (the platform for the Citroen Dispatch, Peugeot Expert, Fiat Scudo and Vauxhall Vivaro) and STLA Small architectures, which are powered by Nvidia’s Drive AGX Hyperion 10 autonomous system.
Uber expects to operate Stellantis-built autonomous vehicles in a number of cities, initially deploying 5,000 units in the United States.
Pilot schemes and testing are due to expand over the coming years, with production scheduled to begin in 2028.
Stellantis will design, engineer and manufacture the vehicles, integrating Nvidia’s Drive AV software to enable Level 4 capability. Nvidia will supply the software and architecture, Foxconn will support hardware and systems integration, and Uber will run the robotaxi services using the Stellantis vehicles.
Stellantis says its AV-Ready platforms have been engineered to support Level 4 technology with upgraded systems, advanced sensors and high-performance computing built into a flexible architecture.
Antonio Filosa, CEO of Stellantis, 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.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, 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.”
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, 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.”
Young Liu, chairman of Foxconn, said “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.”
The non binding memorandum of understanding sets out a framework for future agreements on technology development, licensing, production and vehicle procurement. Each company will retain the option to pursue other partnerships in autonomous driving as the project progresses.
