Uber plans to deploy 100,000 robotaxis — Deal with Nvidia.
The ride-hailing service Uber aims to reach the 100,000 robotaxis milestone on its platform. A key to this will be Nvidia's new in-car computers, which are intended to bring the hardware for autonomous driving to cars from various manufacturers.
At Uber and Nvidia's announcement, there were no details about when the target of 100,000 robotaxis might be reached. The first vehicles with Nvidia's new computer platform are expected to be available in 2027.
Among the first robotaxis with Nvidia hardware at Uber, at least 5,000 vehicles are to come from Stellantis, the Opel parent, as the ride-hailing service announced. Mercedes-Benz and the Tesla rival Lucid were also working on vehicles that would be compatible with Nvidia's new platform named Drive AGX Hyperion 10, it was said.
Uber already had robotaxi plans
Uber had already announced in the summer that it intended to become a robotaxi provider itself—and would thereby compete with the drivers on the platform. It was said that in the coming six years, in various countries, at least 20,000 self-driving vehicles based on Lucid's SUVs are to be introduced. The vehicles will belong to Uber or the fleet partners of the ride-hailing service.
Uber had previously demonstrated ambitions to become the leading platform for robotaxis from various developers. In some US cities, self-driving cars from Google's sister company Waymo are already bookable via the Uber app.
Robotaxis from Volkswagen are also set to join the platform. Uber also announced that outside the United States, self-driving cars from the Chinese company Baidu are to be brokered. Uber had already given up developing its own autonomous driving technology years ago—after a fatal accident during an evening test drive. (Source: dpa)
