Stellantis, Wayve and Uber Advance Ecosystem Approach to Autonomous Ride-Hailing Services

(IN BRIEF) Stellantis, Wayve and Uber have formed a partnership to explore the development and global deployment of Level 4 driverless robotaxi services. The collaboration combines Stellantis’ L4-Ready Platforms™, Wayve’s AI Driver technology and Uber’s global mobility network, bringing together the vehicle, autonomous driving software and marketplace elements needed to scale robotaxis. Stellantis will design, engineer and manufacture vehicles equipped for high-utilisation driverless operations, Wayve will provide adaptive end-to-end AI driving software, and Uber will connect riders to autonomous trips through its app. The partnership builds on existing collaborations between the companies, including Stellantis and Wayve’s L2++ agreement and Wayve and Uber’s autonomous ride deployment plans in London, Tokyo and other cities. The companies will work on integration, testing, validation and deployment across Europe, North America and beyond, while the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding provides a framework for future agreements on technology development, licensing, production and vehicle procurement.

(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM/LONDON, 17-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Stellantis, Wayve and Uber have entered into a partnership to explore the development and deployment of Level 4 driverless robotaxi services at global scale, combining vehicle manufacturing, advanced AI driving technology and a worldwide mobility platform.

The collaboration brings together Stellantis’ L4-Ready Platforms™, Wayve’s AI Driver and Uber’s global mobility network. The companies aim to accelerate the rollout of autonomous ride-hailing services by combining the core elements needed to commercialise robotaxis: purpose-built vehicles, scalable autonomous driving technology and a platform capable of connecting riders with autonomous trips.

The partnership builds on existing relationships between the companies, including the recent Stellantis and Wayve L2++ agreement, as well as Wayve and Uber’s plan to deploy autonomous rides in London, Tokyo and ten other cities around the world starting this year.

Under the new collaboration, Stellantis will design, engineer and manufacture vehicles at scale using its L4-Ready Platforms™. These platforms are being developed with embedded sensor suites and the safety, redundancy and operational requirements needed for high-utilisation driverless mobility services.

Wayve will provide the AI driving software that enables the vehicles to understand and navigate complex real-world environments without a human driver. The company’s end-to-end AI driving approach is designed to adapt across different regions and driving conditions without relying on city-by-city mapping or extensive re-engineering, which could support faster and more cost-efficient expansion.

Uber will bring the autonomous vehicles to riders through its global mobility network. The vehicles are expected to be made available through the Uber app, allowing passengers to access autonomous rides through a platform they already use.

Ned Curic, Chief Engineering and Technology Officer at Stellantis, said the collaboration brings the companies closer to delivering smarter, safer and more efficient mobility for customers. He said Stellantis’ L4-Ready Platforms™, combined with Wayve’s adaptive AI and Uber’s global network, can help accelerate the deployment of autonomous vehicles designed for everyday mobility needs at scale.

Kaity Fischer, Vice President of Commercial and Operations at Wayve, said the partnership brings together Stellantis’ vehicle expertise, Uber’s global mobility platform and Wayve’s embodied AI technology. She described the collaboration as another indication that the industry is moving toward Wayve’s approach as a path to scaling autonomous vehicles globally.

Sarfraz Maredia, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility and Delivery at Uber, said successful autonomous mobility requires the right vehicles, technology and platform working together. He said Uber is looking forward to working with Stellantis and Wayve to bring safe and reliable autonomy to more riders around the world.

The companies plan to collaborate on vehicle integration, testing, validation and deployment, with the goal of bringing autonomous mobility services to cities across Europe, North America and other regions.

The relationship is structured through a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, which establishes a framework for future agreements covering technology development, licensing, production and vehicle procurement. Each company will retain the flexibility to pursue other partnerships in the autonomous driving sector.

Stellantis is a global automaker with a portfolio of brands including Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS Automobiles, FIAT, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, Vauxhall, Free2move and Leasys. Wayve, founded in 2017, develops embodied AI technology for automated driving, including mapless and hardware-agnostic autonomy solutions for automakers and fleet operators. Uber operates a global mobility platform that has supported more than 75 billion trips and continues to expand how people, food and goods move through cities.

Through the partnership, Stellantis, Wayve and Uber are positioning ecosystem collaboration as a key route to scaling autonomous mobility and bringing robotaxi services to more riders worldwide.
