Nvidia and Mercedes-Benz are moving forward with plans for robotaxi services in major cities, utilizing Mercedes' S-Class model. The collaboration, which also involves Uber, aims to deploy advanced self-driving technology developed by these companies. The partnership began last year and includes other automakers like Stellantis, indicating a broader industry effort to advance autonomous vehicle technology. At CES 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang highlighted the partnership, emphasizing the focus on safety and reliability in self-driving cars. The robotaxi initiative is positioned as a competitive response to the growing demand for autonomous transportation solutions. With major cities as the target market, the companies are betting on the viability of robotaxis as a service in urban environments, where traditional taxi services are increasingly challenged by ride-hailing platforms.
