Global robotaxi push gets Foxconn boost
Foxconn is collaborating with Nvidia, Stellantis and Uber to deploy Level 4 autonomous robotaxis worldwide.
In a joint effort, Foxconn announced it will work with NVIDIA Corporation, Stellantis N.V. and Uber Technologies, Inc. on developing and deploying Level 4 (hands-off, eyes-off) autonomous vehicles for robotaxi services. Foxconn brings its expertise in high-performance computing, sensor integration and electronic control systems to the partnership.
The collaboration assigns distinct roles. Nvidia contributes its DRIVE AV software stack and DRIVE AGX Hyperion 10 architecture, Stellantis provides vehicle platforms engineered for autonomy, Foxconn handles hardware and system integration, and Uber offers its global ride-service network to scale the deployment.
Foxconn chairman Young Liu described autonomous mobility as a strategic priority within its EV programme, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said this venture ‘is a leap in AI capability’.
This move underscores how hardware makers, AI firms and mobility service providers are converging around the autonomous-vehicle ecosystem.
It also highlights the expanding role of companies like Foxconn beyond traditional electronics manufacturing into mobility, AI and sensor integration, areas increasingly relevant for digital diplomacy, supply-chain resilience and global tech competition.
