NVIDIA expands DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem for global Level 4 robotaxi fleets
NVIDIA is expanding its DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem, a robotaxi-ready platform for Level 4 (fully autonomous driving in defined areas) vehicle fleets. The expansion integrates the NVIDIA Halos safety system with DRIVE AGX compute and DriveOS. Partners including Uber, VinFast, and HUMAIN are adopting the stack for programs globally.

This move marks the transition of autonomous mobility into an industrial scaling phase. By providing a common foundation, NVIDIA enables automakers and ride-hailing networks to bypass custom infrastructure development. The integration of Autobrains software introduces agentic AI (AI that reasons and acts independently), building on the Alpamayo 2 Super launch.
Organizations can now utilize the platform to scale autonomous fleets globally. Uber plans to launch a robotaxi program in Munich later this year. Foxconn is also leveraging the stack for Level 4 electric vehicles, following NVIDIA and Foxconn's agentic AI workforce launch, with a planned 2028 service launch in Taiwan.
NVIDIA announces a major expansion of NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem, the robotaxi-ready platform built for global level 4-ready fleets.
@HUMAIN, @VinFastofficial with @Autobrains_AI, and @Uber with Autobrains are working to bring DRIVE Hyperion-powered robotaxi programs across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
Built on NVIDIA Halos, DRIVE AGX, DriveOS, a compatible multimodal sensor suite and DRIVE AV software, DRIVE Hyperion brings compute, sensors and safety software together on one common foundation for autonomous mobility.

NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion is a production-ready platform for Level 4 autonomous vehicles. It combines high-performance in-vehicle compute, a safety-certified operating system, and a multimodal sensor suite. The platform provides a common foundation for automakers and mobility providers to build and scale robotaxi fleets without developing custom hardware stacks.
Uber is collaborating with Autobrains to launch a robotaxi program in Munich, Germany, later in 2026. The program will integrate several DRIVE Hyperion-powered autonomous vehicle fleets into Uber's global ride-hailing network. Details regarding the specific automaker providing the vehicles for this Munich deployment are expected to be announced later this year.
Foxconn is expanding its strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to develop and deploy Level 4-ready robotaxi fleets. The partnership combines Foxconn’s manufacturing services with the DRIVE Hyperion platform to support electric vehicle integration. Initial deployments are planned for Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with a broader robotaxi service launch expected to begin in 2028.
