For Robotaxis, Safety Must Be Built In, Not Bolted On

A car pulls up to the curb. The app says, “Your ride is here.” No one’s in the driver’s seat. For people who live in one of the dozens of cities now hosting robotaxi services, this is already a reality.

The robotaxi industry has moved from prototype milestones to commercial operations, with an expanding ecosystem accelerating the pace of deployment. New collaborations announced at NVIDIA GTC Taipei reflect robotaxi programs spinning up around the world:

Uber and Autobrains are launching a robotaxi program in Munich on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform, using Autobrains’ agentic AI to support scalable operations.

Foxconn is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to deploy robotaxi fleets, combining its services with NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion for rapid integration and scaling in Taiwan.

VinFast is working with Autobrains to bring level 4 vehicles built on DRIVE Hyperion to the Southeast Asia market.
