Nvidia

on Monday unveiled plans to test a robotaxi service with a partner as soon as 2027, highlighting the chipmaker’s ambition to become a major player in the world of self-driving cars.

The service would be offered with a partner, and would employ cars with “Level 4” driving, meaning they will be capable of driving without human intervention in pre-defined regions, Nvidia officials said at a self-driving demonstration in San Francisco last month. The company declined to name where it would operate and who its partner will be.

“We will probably start with a limited availability but work with the partner for us to get our footing,” Xinzhou Wu, Nvidia’s vice president of automotive, said at the event.
