On March 16, Uber and NVIDIA announced a partnership to launch autonomous ride-hailing vehicles powered by NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion platform and Alpamayo AI model in Los Angeles and San Francisco in 2027, with plans to expand to 28 cities worldwide by 2028. The rollout will begin with data-collection vehicles to train the system, followed by safety-driver-supervised testing, ultimately progressing to Level 4 fully driverless operations. The service will cover regions across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Uber’s CEO emphasized that this initiative aims to build a diversified autonomous ecosystem rather than develop proprietary technology in-house. Previously, Uber has collaborated with Lucid and Nuro on similar projects. Currently, Waymo leads the commercial autonomous driving sector, while Tesla is rapidly entering the market leveraging its manufacturing scale, intensifying competition in the industry.
