Eventually the goal is to use Nvidia’s more advanced DRIVE AV platform, which includes a sensor suite of cameras, radar and lidar, to develop Level 4 autonomous vehicle capabilities.

As part of the collaboration, Stellantis will be among the first automakers to deliver at least 5,000 Nvidia-powered robotaxis for Uber’s operations in the U.S. and internationally.

Uber’s investment expands on a multiyear partnership with Austin-based Avride to deploy autonomous vehicles and food delivery robots.

The agreement involves a battery-powered minivan as the initial fleet model for “accelerating the development and deployment of robotaxi solutions in Europe,” the companies said.
