NVIDIA today announced a significant expansion of the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion™ robotaxi-ready platform ecosystem. The company is collaborating with major global automakers, manufacturers, autonomous vehicle (AV) software ecosystem partners, and ridesharing mobility providers to build and scale Level 4-ready robotaxi fleets.

NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion provides the global transportation industry with a safe and scalable Level 4-ready platform built on the NVIDIA Halos full-stack safety system for physical AI. It combines high-performance NVIDIA DRIVE AGX™ in-vehicle computing, the NVIDIA Halos OS (built on the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS™ operating system), compatible multimodal sensor suites, and NVIDIA DRIVE™ AV software designed for highly autonomous driving capabilities.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated: "Autonomous mobility is moving into a stage of industrial-scale expansion. Vehicles are becoming robots, and robotaxi fleets require AI infrastructure that can safely perceive, reason, and operate in the real world. NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion provides a common Level 4-capable foundation for global automakers, AV developers, and mobility networks. By integrating computing, sensors, safety software, and a global ecosystem, we are guiding robotaxis from testing to mass-scale daily transportation."

Foxconn is expanding its strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to accelerate the development and deployment of Level 4-capable robotaxi fleets built on the platform. The initiative will begin in Taiwan, with Kaohsiung as the initial deployment city, followed by plans to expand across Asia. Foxconn expects to launch robotaxi services in 2028, starting with routes connecting airports and city centers, before scaling to routes linked with Taiwan's high-speed rail network.
