The agreed collaboration brings together Stellantis' L4-ready platforms, Wayve's AI technology, and Uber's global marketplace. It also builds on the companies' existing strategic relationships, including the recently finalized L2++ agreement between Stellantis and Wayve and the partnership between Wayve and Uber. The goal is to offer robotaxi rides in various cities such as London or Tokyo.

Together, the aim is to combine strengths necessary for the commercialization of autonomous driving:

  • Vehicles,
  • Technology and
  • Platform.

Vehicles and Integration

Stellantis plans to develop and produce vehicles on a large scale based on L4-ready platforms, equipped with integrated sensors and designed to meet operational requirements, safety, and redundancy necessary for high-utilization driverless operation.

AI Technology

Wayve will provide the AI driving software that enables the vehicles to fully autonomously perceive and navigate complex real-world environments. The technology is based on Wayve's end-to-end AI driving approach and is designed to adapt to different regions and driving conditions without the need for city-specific mapping or reprogramming. This enables faster and more cost-effective expansion.

Mobility Platform

Uber will deploy these autonomous vehicles in its global mobility network to connect passengers with autonomous rides via the Uber app and expand operations across various markets.

Strengthen the Ecosystem

As part of this collaboration, the companies plan to work together on vehicle integration, testing, and validation to offer safe, reliable, and scalable autonomous mobility services in cities across Europe, North America, and Asia. The cooperation supports the introduction of commercial robotaxi services and also strengthens the ecosystem.

The memorandum of understanding between the partners defines the framework for future agreements on technology development, licensing, production, and vehicle procurement. Each company retains the flexibility to pursue additional collaborations in the field of autonomous driving. (se)
