NVIDIA Now Working On Its Own Robotaxis - CleanTechnica

NVIDIA, long a key hardware and software provider for autonomous vehicle developers, is now reportedly developing its own robotaxi service. The company has supported numerous automakers and robotaxi firms—including Cruise, Zoox, DiDi, Pony.ai, and AutoX—by supplying its DRIVE AGX platform and acquiring mapping specialist DeepMap to enhance its full self-driving capabilities. Over the past several years, the robotaxi market has matured significantly, with companies like Waymo and various Chinese operators running commercial services in multiple cities. Building on its extensive experience and partnerships with automakers such as BYD, Jaguar Land Rover, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Rivian, Tesla, and others, NVIDIA is leveraging its DRIVE AGX Thor system and continuous neural networks to develop a proprietary robotaxi system. The project, reportedly led by Ruchi Bhargava and announced internally at an all-hands meeting, reflects CEO Jensen Huang’s belief that robotaxis represent a trillion-dollar opportunity and the first major commercial application of robotics
