US EditionUber, Nvidia Plan Robotaxi Rollout in 28 Cities Starting Next Year
Uber and Nvidia will launch Level 4 robotaxis in two U.S. cities in 2027 and expand to 28 cities worldwide by 2028 using Nvidia's DRIVE Hyperion platform.
- On Monday, Uber Technologies and Nvidia announced a partnership to deploy Level 4 robotaxis, starting in Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2027 before expanding to 28 cities globally by 2028.
- The collaboration advances Uber's strategy of assembling partnerships across the autonomous vehicle industry rather than building proprietary technology, with CEO Dara Khosrowshahi aiming to support a "multi-player" ecosystem.
- Vehicles will run on the DRIVE Hyperion platform using Alpamayo, a reasoning-based AI model, with initial data-collection launches preceding operator-supervised tests and eventually fully driverless Level 4 operations.
- Following the announcement, Uber shares rose 3.3% and Lyft climbed 3%, though competition remains intense from Alphabet's Waymo, the current robotaxi leader, and Tesla's camera-based manufacturing scale.
- Separately, Lyft will utilize Nvidia's AI infrastructure and DRIVE Hyperion platform for future autonomous fleets, while Nvidia announced expanded autonomous driving partnerships with Kia and Hyundai at the company's GTC event.

Uber’s Secret Weapon in the Self-Driving Wars? Not Building Cars
Here’s a plot twist nobody saw coming: the company that might win the autonomous vehicle race isn’t actually building the cars. It’s Uber—and Deutsche Bank just dropped a note saying the stock could pop 38% because of it. Let’s back up. For years, everyone assumed the self-driving game would be a winner-take-all bloodbath between Tesla and Waymo. Tesla’s got Elon’s ego and manufacturing chops.
