Stellantis Teams Up for Breakthrough in Autonomous Driving

The maker of Jeep and Fiat vehicles plans to advance its development of self-driving cars under a new partnership with technology and ride-hailing companies.

Collaborating with Tech Giants

Stellantis said the new collaboration with chip developer NVIDIA, electronics manufacturer Foxconn, and ridesharing platform Uber would aim to advance autonomous capabilities for global robotaxi services.

A "New Generation” of Level 4

Stellantis officials plan to combine its vehicle engineering and manufacturing capabilities with NVIDIA software, Foxconn electronics, and Uber ride-hailing to build toward a“new generation” of Level 4 autonomous driving, in which vehicles can respond to potential problems without the need for human intervention.Stellantis noted that its autonomous vehicle-ready platforms are already powered by NVIDIA architecture.

Other Partnerships

The initiative follows other Stellantis partnerships on self-driving vehicles, including an agreement in Europe with Pony.ai and a pact with Uber to build a robotaxi fleet in the U.S. Stellantis plans to begin production of vehicles for the Uber program in 2028.
