en.Wedoany.com Reported - NVIDIA announced the expansion of the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion autonomous taxi platform ecosystem, bringing together global automakers, software companies, autonomous vehicle ecosystem partners, and mobility service providers to develop and scale fleets for Level 4 autonomous driving.
Built on the NVIDIA Halos comprehensive AI physical safety system, the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform is designed for Level 4 autonomous driving, emphasizing safety and scalability. The platform integrates in-vehicle NVIDIA DRIVE AGX high-performance computing, the Halos OS software foundation built on the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system, a multimodal sensor suite, and NVIDIA DRIVE AV software developed specifically for highly automated and autonomous driving capabilities.
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated that autonomous mobility is entering a phase of industrial scaling, where vehicles are becoming robots, and autonomous taxi fleets require AI infrastructure capable of sensing, reasoning, and operating safely in the real world. NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion provides automakers, autonomous vehicle developers, and mobility networks with a unified Level 4 autonomous driving foundation, integrating computing, sensors, safety software, and a global ecosystem, aiming to move autonomous taxis from the testing phase to large-scale daily transportation.
Marcio Aguiar, Director of Enterprise for Latin America at NVIDIA, noted that the evolution of autonomous taxis and autonomous mobility presents an opportunity for Latin America to accelerate the adoption of physics-based AI technologies in areas such as transportation, logistics, and smart cities. With NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion, developers, manufacturers, and mobility operators gain access to an integrated and scalable platform to drive the development of next-generation autonomous vehicles that meet the highest safety and performance standards.
With more partners joining the DRIVE Hyperion ecosystem, NVIDIA solidifies its position as the only company offering a platform for Level 4 autonomous driving, enabling the global automotive industry to develop and scale autonomous taxi and autonomous vehicle fleets. NVIDIA is collaborating with automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, software companies, and mobility service providers across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East to expand the deployment of autonomous taxis.
Foxconn is expanding its strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the development and future deployment of Level 4 autonomous taxi fleets based on branded technology. This initiative combines Foxconn's contract design and manufacturing services with NVIDIA's DRIVE Hyperion platform to facilitate the integration, scalability, and deployment of Level 4 electric vehicles, starting with initial cities such as Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and then expanding across Asia. Foxconn plans to launch autonomous taxi services in 2028, beginning with routes between airports and city centers, followed by operations along corridors connected by Taiwan's high-speed rail network.
Chen Chi-mai, Mayor of Kaohsiung, stated that Kaohsiung supports the vision of positioning Taiwan as a global leader in smart transportation and physics-based AI innovation. The collaboration between Foxconn, Foxtron, and NVIDIA is a significant milestone in accelerating Taiwan's journey toward a world-class smart city ecosystem. As a major industrial and innovation hub, Kaohsiung is actively investing in smart infrastructure, sustainable mobility, and AI-driven urban development. He looks forward to participating in future smart transportation initiatives, including autonomous taxi applications and intelligent transportation systems, to create safer, smarter, and more sustainable cities for the next generation.
Young Liu, Chairman of Foxconn, stated that autonomous mobility is a key pillar of Foxconn's electric vehicle strategy, and through its strategic alliance with NVIDIA, it is accelerating the deployment of Level 4 autonomous taxi technology. Foxconn provides high-performance computing and sensor integration, enabling large-scale adoption by communities and cities worldwide.
VinFast, in collaboration with Autobrains, is introducing Level 4 autonomous vehicles based on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform to Southeast Asia. Duong Nguyen of VinFast stated that VinFast is committed to developing scalable and affordable autonomous driving solutions by partnering with global technology leaders, achieving Level 4 autonomous driving in the real, highly dynamic traffic environments of Southeast Asia.
In Europe, Uber will integrate multiple autonomous fleets equipped with DRIVE Hyperion technology into its global ride-sharing network. Uber, in partnership with Autobrains, is launching an autonomous taxi project based on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform in Munich. This project integrates Autobrains' AI autonomous driving software to provide scalable operations aimed at Level 4 autonomous driving, further expanding Uber's presence in the European on-demand mobility market. Sarfraz Maredia of Uber stated that the challenge lies in integrating autonomous vehicles into a commercial network capable of reliably serving users at scale, and this project opens new pathways to achieve this goal by combining vehicle autonomy, AI computing, and Uber's mobility platform. Igal Raichelgauz of Autobrains noted that autonomous driving cannot be scaled with a single model; it requires systems capable of reasoning, adapting, and making decisions. This collaboration integrates intelligent agent AI into on-demand autonomous mobility. Further details regarding the relevant automakers will be announced by the end of the year.
HUMAIN is working to introduce autonomous taxis equipped with NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion technology to Saudi Arabia, expanding the platform's footprint in the Middle East. This collaboration leverages HUMAIN's AI and mobility ecosystem to drive the development and deployment of Level 4 autonomous transportation solutions across the region. Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN, stated that autonomous mobility will become one of the major AI platforms of the next decade. By partnering with NVIDIA, HUMAIN is committed to providing the necessary infrastructure, intelligence, and operational scale to develop and sustain the future of Level 4 autonomous transportation in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration also reflects its vision of building a native AI infrastructure platform to connect the digital and physical worlds at scale.
