Stellantis, Uber, NVIDIA, Foxconn Plan 2028 Robotaxi Launch

Stellantis announced a new partnership with NVIDIA, Uber, and Foxconn to develop Level 4 autonomous robotaxis. The plan calls for 5,000 vehicles to be deployed by Uber in select US cities, with pilot programs expanding in the coming years and production scheduled to begin in 2028.

The initiative marks Stellantis’ entry into the competitive autonomous mobility market, currently led by Tesla and Chinese companies such as Baidu and Nio. The collaboration combines Stellantis’ vehicle manufacturing expertise with NVIDIA’s autonomous driving software, Foxconn’s systems integration, and Uber’s fleet operations.

Antonio Filosa, CEO, Stellantis, said, “Autonomous mobility opens the door to new transportation options for customers. By partnering with leaders in AI, electronics, and mobility services, our goal is to create a scalable solution that offers smarter, safer, and more efficient mobility for everyone.”

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized NVIDIA’s role, noting, “NVIDIA is the backbone of the AI era and is now leveraging that innovation to unleash L4 autonomy at massive scale, with Stellantis among the first to integrate its technology for deployment on Uber.”

Under the agreement, Foxconn will manage hardware and systems integration, while Stellantis will design and manufacture the vehicles using its AV-Ready platform supporting Level 4 driverless capabilities.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang added, “Level 4 autonomy is not only a milestone for the automotive industry—it is a leap in AI capability. The vehicle becomes a robot that sees, perceives, plans, and drives with superhuman precision.”

Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said, “Autonomous mobility is a strategic priority within Foxconn’s EV program. Partnerships with NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber will accelerate the global rollout of Level 4 robotaxi technology.”

The alliance is based on a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, setting the framework for future agreements on technology development, licensing, production, and vehicle operations. US pilot programs will gather key data on safety, performance, and urban operation, helping refine large-scale deployment models.
