Nvidia announced plans to launch a robotaxi service with a partner as early as 2027, aiming to showcase its Level 4 self-driving technology capable of operating without human intervention in defined areas.

The company, which has supplied automotive chips and software under its Drive brand since 2015, did not disclose the service location or partner.

Nvidia’s automotive and robotics business remains a small part of its revenue—$592 million last quarter, roughly 1% of total sales—but CEO Jensen Huang sees self-driving cars as the company’s second-largest growth area after AI.

Nvidia also provides AI chips and simulation software to help automakers develop and optimize self-driving systems, with products like the $3,500 Drive AGX Thor automotive computer, CNBC has reported.

The robotaxi initiative positions Nvidia to compete in self-driving fleets alongside companies like Waymo while continuing to support consumer vehicle integration.
