Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and NVIDIA announced they are collaborating on new solutions to support the development of AI-powered autonomous driving technology.

“Generative AI will power the future of mobility, requiring both rich data and very powerful compute,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. “By working with NVIDIA, we are confident that we can help supercharge the timeline for safe and scalable autonomous driving solutions for the industry.”

Millions of trips occur every day on Uber, representing a vast and rich source of data that the companies will look to pair with the NVIDIA Cosmos™ platform and NVIDIA DGX™ Cloud to help AV partners build stronger AI models even more efficiently.

NVIDIA Cosmos is a new platform of state-of-the-art generative world foundation models, tokenizers, and accelerated data processing and model customization pipelines, purpose-built for developing physical AI systems like robots and autonomous vehicles. Cosmos eliminates cost and resource barriers, helping democratize access to tools for developing physical AI. NVIDIA DGX Cloud is a high-performance, fully managed AI platform preconfigured with the latest NVIDIA architecture and software. Providing term-length flexibility and machine learning pipeline portability on an open platform, DGX Cloud delivers day-one productivity and maximum resource utilization for AI model development across multi-cloud environments.

“Uber is one of the first mobility leaders to embrace these platforms to accelerate the development and deployment of physical AI systems such as AVs,” said Norm Marks, vice president of automotive at NVIDIA. “We’re excited to collaborate with Uber to help empower the AV ecosystem with Cosmos and DGX Cloud.”

The companies will share additional details later this year.

About Uber

Uber’s mission is to create opportunity through movement. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 55 billion trips later, we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.
