Foxconn Partners With NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber to Accelerate Global Robotaxi Deployment
Hon Hai Technology Group (“Foxconn”) (TWSE:2317) today announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber to advance the global rollout of Level 4 (hands-off, eyes-off) autonomous vehicles for robotaxi services. This partnership aims to combine each company’s expertise to develop and deploy next-generation mobility solutions that make autonomous transportation more accessible, efficient, and scalable worldwide.
As the world’s largest electronics manufacturer and a leading provider of intelligent solutions, Foxconn brings decades of experience in high-performance computing, advanced sensor integration, and electronic control systems. By working alongside NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber, Foxconn strengthens its position in the autonomous mobility space — a key component of its broader electric vehicle (EV) strategy.
A Partnership Built on Complementary Strengths
Each company contributes unique capabilities to this collaboration, forming a powerful alliance designed to accelerate the commercial deployment of autonomous driving technologies:
- Foxconn contributes hardware expertise, system integration, and high-performance computing (HPC) capabilities essential for developing reliable autonomous platforms.
- NVIDIA provides its advanced AI computing technology, centered on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor platform and the DRIVE AV software stack, which delivers supercomputing power for real-time perception, planning, and control.
- Stellantis leverages its global automotive experience and EV-ready vehicle architectures to build robust, scalable platforms suitable for autonomous mobility.
- Uber brings its vast global ride-hailing network, enabling rapid deployment and fleet scaling of robotaxis powered by NVIDIA and Foxconn technologies.
Together, these companies are developing Level 4-ready autonomous vehicles built on NVIDIA’s DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 architecture — a reference compute and sensor platform that supports safe, scalable, and software-defined autonomous mobility.
Executive Insights: Driving the Future of Mobility
Foxconn Chairman Young Liu emphasized the importance of this collaboration in Foxconn’s EV roadmap:
“Autonomous mobility is a strategic priority within Foxconn’s EV program. The combined strengths of NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber accelerate the deployment of Level 4 robotaxi technology. Foxconn’s high-performance computing and sensor integration capabilities will enable a truly global rollout of autonomous services.”
Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, highlighted how this milestone redefines the boundaries of artificial intelligence and transportation:
“Level 4 autonomy isn’t just a milestone for the auto industry—it’s a leap in AI capability. The vehicle becomes a robot that sees, perceives, plans, and drives with superhuman precision. By merging Stellantis’ global scale with NVIDIA DRIVE and Foxconn’s integration expertise, we’re creating a new class of purpose-built robotaxi fleets, making transportation safer, more accessible, and more affordable.”
Antonio Filosa, CEO of Stellantis, underscored the growing customer demand for automated, efficient, and affordable mobility solutions:
“Autonomous mobility opens the door to new transportation choices for consumers. By partnering with leaders in AI, electronics, and mobility services, we can create a scalable solution that delivers smarter, safer, and more efficient mobility for everyone.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, expressed excitement about integrating these technologies into Uber’s global operations:
“NVIDIA is the backbone of the AI era and is now using that innovation to unleash Level 4 autonomy at scale. We’re excited to work with Foxconn and Stellantis to deploy NVIDIA-powered robotaxis on the Uber platform, bringing the benefits of autonomous vehicles to millions of riders worldwide.”
Powering Level 4 Autonomy
Achieving Level 4 autonomy requires a deeply integrated technology stack encompassing powerful compute systems, advanced sensors, and robust connectivity. These vehicles depend on multiple layers of perception technologies — including LiDAR, radar, and multi-view cameras — that work together to understand and react to the driving environment with precision and safety.
The collaboration leverages NVIDIA’s DRIVE AV platform, built on DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10, to deliver both Level 4 Parking and Level 4 Driving capabilities. Stellantis will design and manufacture these autonomous vehicles using its LCV and STLA Small AV-Ready platforms, integrating NVIDIA’s compute systems to achieve optimal performance and safety. Foxconn will support Stellantis with hardware development and systems integration, ensuring a seamless vehicle architecture that maximizes reliability and manufacturability. Finally, Uber will operate the robotaxi services, integrating these vehicles into its global network to scale autonomous ride-hailing in key urban markets.
Foxconn’s Broader Vision
This collaboration aligns with Foxconn’s ongoing evolution beyond traditional manufacturing into a global technology solutions powerhouse. Founded in 1974 in Taiwan, Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) has become the world’s largest electronics manufacturer and ranks 28th on the Fortune Global 500 list. In 2024, the company reported revenue of TWD 6.86 trillion (approximately USD 208 billion) and maintains over 230 campuses across 24 countries, employing nearly 900,000 people during peak seasons.
Foxconn holds more than 40% of the global market share in electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and continues to diversify into sectors such as electric vehicles, digital health, and robotics. The company’s long-term strategy is driven by its “3+3+3” growth framework, focusing on three core technologies — AI, semiconductors, and next-generation communications — across three intelligent platforms: Smart Manufacturing, Smart EV, and Smart City.
Sustainability also remains a core pillar of Foxconn’s mission. The company actively integrates eco-friendly practices into its manufacturing and development processes, setting industry benchmarks for environmental responsibility and circular economy innovation.
By combining expertise across computing, mobility, and service operations, Foxconn, NVIDIA, Stellantis, and Uber are shaping the next chapter of transportation. This collaboration not only represents a step forward in autonomous vehicle technology but also sets the stage for the commercial realization of global robotaxi services.
As these partners work toward developing scalable, reliable, and safe Level 4 robotaxi fleets, they are paving the way for a new era of urban mobility — one defined by intelligence, efficiency, and sustainability.
