Goldman Sachs expects Nvidia ’beat and raise,’ lifts price target to $240
Investing.com -- Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) stock rose 0.4% on Tuesday after announcing plans to deploy one of the world’s largest networks of autonomous vehicles powered by NVIDIA’s AI architecture. Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) shares also gained, up 2.5% today, as the automaker will supply at least 5,000 Level 4 autonomous vehicles to Uber for robotaxi operations in the U.S. and internationally.
The partnership will utilize NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) DRIVE AGX Hyperion autonomous vehicle platform, which includes the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS operating system and full-stack DRIVE AV software specifically built for Level 4 autonomy. Uber will manage end-to-end fleet operations, including remote assistance, charging, maintenance, and customer support.
"NVIDIA is the backbone of the AI era, and is now fully harnessing that innovation to unleash L4 autonomy at enormous scale, while making it easier for NVIDIA-empowered AVs to be deployed on Uber," said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber.
The companies are creating an open tech stack to support a broad global Level 4 ecosystem that includes various autonomous vehicle developers such as Aurora, Motional, Nuro, and others across passenger mobility, trucking, and delivery sectors.
Additionally, NVIDIA and Uber are developing a robotaxi data factory powered by the NVIDIA Cosmos platform for physical AI. Uber plans to collect more than 3 million hours of robotaxi-specific driving data to fuel Level 4 model training and validation, while NVIDIA will provide GPUs and associated tools for data processing and autonomy stack improvement.
The initiative represents a significant step toward transforming urban mobility with autonomous technology that aims to make transportation safer and more efficient.
