Uber (NYSE:UBER), and Autobrains announced at GTC Taipei today a strategic collaboration to launch a robotaxi program in Munich, combining Uber's ride-hailing platform, Autobrains' agentic autonomous driving intelligence, and NVIDIA DRIVE robotaxi-ready level 4 Hyperion platform to support scalable autonomous mobility for commercial ride-hailing.

Pending regulatory approval, Munich will serve as the first deployment city for the robotaxi program, establishing an OEM-agnostic model to scale autonomous ride-hailing across vehicle platforms and urban markets. As one of Europe's leading automotive hubs, with dense city streets, high-speed road networks, and a thoughtful German regulatory framework, Munich provides the right launch environment for commercially scalable autonomous mobility.

Autonomy has often depended on custom vehicles, heavy sensor stacks, and compute architectures that are much harder to commercialize at scale. Autobrains' Agentic AI is designed to change that - enabling robust, real-time decision-making on standard automotive sensor configurations and efficient, accelerated compute, with the flexibility to deploy across OEM platforms.

The collaboration combines three essential layers for scalable robotaxi deployment: Autobrains' Agentic AI autonomous driving technology, the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform, and Uber's global mobility network and operational experience. Together, they establish an OEM-agnostic model to move autonomous ride-hailing from isolated deployments to repeatable, scalable fleet infrastructure.
