Uber is getting serious with its plan to become a platform for robotaxis from various manufacturers. In cooperation with Nvidia, there is talk of 100,000 autonomous cars—at some point.

The ride-hailing company Uber is aiming to have 100,000 robotaxis in its fleet in the future. One key to this will be new car computers from chip giant Nvidia, which will bring hardware for autonomous driving into cars from various manufacturers.

When Uber and Nvidia made their announcement, there was no indication of when the target of 100,000 robotaxis could be reached. The first vehicles with Nvidia's new computer platform are expected to be available in 2027.

At least 5,000 vehicles from Opel's parent company Stellantis will be among the first robotaxis with Nvidia hardware at Uber, the ride-hailing company announced. Mercedes-Benz and Tesla competitor Lucid are also working on vehicles that are compatible with Nvidia's new platform called Drive AGX Hyperion 10.

Uber Already Had Robotaxi Plans

Uber had already announced in the summer that it wanted to become a robotaxi provider itself—and would thus compete with the drivers on its own platform. It was said that at least 20,000 self-driving cars based on SUVs from electric car manufacturer Lucid would be introduced in various countries over the next six years. The vehicles will be owned by Uber or the online service's fleet partners.

Uber has already demonstrated its ambition to become the leading platform for robotaxis from various developers. In some US cities, self-driving cars from Google's sister company Waymo can already be booked via the Uber app.

Robotaxis from Volkswagen are also to be added to the platform. Uber also announced that self-driving cars from the Chinese company Baidu would be available outside the USA. Uber gave up developing its own technology for autonomous driving years ago— after a fatal accident during an evening test drive.
