Partnership builds on Stellantis’ growing autonomous mobility ecosystem, combining AI, electronics, and ride-hailing expertise for scalable Level 4 solutions.
AMSTERDAM, October 28, 2025 – Stellantis has announced a new collaboration with NVIDIA, Uber Technologies, Inc., and Foxconn to jointly develop and deploy Level 4 (driverless) autonomous vehicles for robotaxi services worldwide. The initiative marks a pivotal step in Stellantis’ strategy to expand its global ecosystem for advanced autonomous mobility and builds on its recently announced partnership with Pony.ai to advance robotaxi testing in Europe.
Together, these partnerships position Stellantis at the forefront of a transformative era—one that blends artificial intelligence, scalable vehicle platforms, and digital ecosystems to deliver safe, efficient, and sustainable autonomous transportation at global scale.
Driving the Next Era of Mobility
The collaboration brings together four industry leaders, each contributing their distinct expertise: Stellantis’ global vehicle engineering and manufacturing capabilities, NVIDIA’s advanced AI computing and autonomous driving software, Foxconn’s electronics and systems integration, and Uber’s extensive ride-hailing network and operational experience.
The consortium’s shared objective is to pioneer a new generation of Level 4 autonomous vehicles capable of full driverless operation across urban and suburban environments. These vehicles will build upon Stellantis’ AV-Ready Platforms—including the K0 Medium Size Van and STLA Small—integrated with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 architecture. This end-to-end platform incorporates NVIDIA’s safety-certified DriveOS and the full-stack DRIVE AV software suite, engineered specifically for Level 4 functionality.
These flexible and scalable AV-Ready Platforms are designed to accommodate diverse mobility applications, from passenger robotaxis to commercial delivery fleets. Each integrates advanced sensor suites, redundant safety systems, and high-performance computing modules, ensuring both reliability and low total cost of ownership for operators.
From Concept to Deployment
Under the collaboration, Uber plans to introduce 5,000 Stellantis-built autonomous vehicles into select markets worldwide, beginning with initial operations in the United States. Pilot testing and localized trials will ramp up over the next several years, with Start of Production (SOP) targeted for 2028.
Each partner plays a defined role in bringing the project to life:
- Stellantis will design, engineer, and manufacture the vehicles, incorporating NVIDIA’s Level 4 autonomous capabilities into its LCV and STLA Small platforms.
- NVIDIA will supply the core technology—its DRIVE AV software suite, with L4 Parking and L4 Driving capabilities, built on the DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 architecture.
- Foxconn will support hardware and systems integration, ensuring seamless synergy between AI computing, sensor arrays, and vehicle control systems.
- Uber will operate the resulting fleet of robotaxis, expanding its global network with Stellantis vehicles powered by NVIDIA’s AI-driven software.
Together, the partners aim to deliver a scalable, efficient, and safe autonomous mobility platform capable of supporting global ride-hailing operations across multiple continents.
Executive Insights
Antonio Filosa, CEO, Stellantis, underscored the partnership’s significance:
“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, Uber, emphasized the operational potential:
“NVIDIA is the backbone of the AI era and is now fully harnessing that innovation to unleash L4 autonomy at enormous scale, with Stellantis among the first to integrate NVIDIA’s technology for deployment on Uber. We are thrilled to work with Stellantis to bring thousands of their autonomous vehicles to riders around the world.”
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO, NVIDIA, described the collaboration as a leap forward in AI-driven transportation:
“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, Foxconn, highlighted the strategic value to Foxconn’s EV ambitions:
“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 and sensor integration to enable a global rollout.”
A Framework for the Future
The collaboration is formalized under a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that sets the foundation for future agreements in technology development, production, licensing, and vehicle procurement. Each company retains the freedom to pursue additional collaborations within the autonomous driving domain, reflecting the flexibility and open innovation central to Stellantis’ strategy.
By combining automotive engineering, AI computing, and ride-hailing expertise under one unified initiative, Stellantis and its partners are setting the stage for the large-scale adoption of autonomous mobility. This program complements Stellantis’ existing collaboration with Pony.ai in Europe, reinforcing its commitment to establishing a truly global autonomous ecosystem.
Charting a Global Path for Autonomous Mobility
Stellantis’ collaborative strategy exemplifies its vision for the Dare Forward 2030 plan—where electrification, software, and automation converge to redefine mobility. By integrating NVIDIA’s AI systems, Foxconn’s technology infrastructure, and Uber’s operational reach, Stellantis aims to create one of the most comprehensive Level 4 robotaxi solutions in the industry.
The next chapter of mobility will not be written by a single company, but by an ecosystem. With this partnership, Stellantis, NVIDIA, Foxconn, and Uber are taking a decisive step toward that future—where autonomous vehicles move seamlessly through cities, serving millions safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
