What Happened
Stellantis, Wayve, and Uber have entered a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to jointly explore the development and deployment of Level 4 (driverless) robotaxis globally. The collaboration combines Stellantis’ L4-Ready Platforms™, Wayve’s AI driving technology, and Uber’s global mobility network. The companies plan to work on vehicle integration, testing, validation, and deployment across Europe, North America, and beyond.
The initiative builds on existing relationships: Stellantis and Wayve have a recent L2++ agreement, and Wayve and Uber are already deploying autonomous rides in London, Tokyo, and ten other cities starting this year. Each company retains the flexibility to pursue additional collaborations in the autonomous driving space.
“This collaboration brings us closer to delivering a smarter, safer and more efficient mobility for our customers. By combining our L4-Ready Platforms™, designed from the ground up for safe and efficient driverless operation, with Wayve’s adaptive AI and Uber’s global network, we are accelerating the deployment of autonomous vehicles that meet real customer needs and enable seamless mobility at sca”
“This partnership brings together three leaders, each with our own strengths: Stellantis’ vehicle expertise, Uber’s global mobility platform and Wayve’s embodied AI. This is just another strong signal that the industry is converging around Wayve’s technology as the way to scale AVs globally.”
Why this matters
This partnership combines vehicle manufacturing, AI driving software, and a ride-hailing platform to accelerate the rollout of autonomous mobility services, making robotaxis more accessible to everyday riders.
