NVIDIA announced that NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform adoption is growing expansively, including with global automakers BYD, Geely, Isuzu and Nissan, as well as leading mobility providers ? reflecting rapid momentum toward safe, scalable autonomous vehicle (AV) development. Standardizing on DRIVE Hyperion ?

supported by the NVIDIA Halos OS safety architecture ? enables these partners to accelerate validation cycles and streamline global deployment strategies. By using a standardized reference architecture that integrates compute, sensors, networking and safety systems, manufacturers and mobility leaders can achieve faster fleet learning and more efficient global scaling.

Leading automakers BYD, Geely and Nissan (powered by Wayve software) are developing next-generation level 4 AV programs built on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion production-ready compute and sensor architecture. Isuzu and TIER IV are also collaborating on L4 autonomous bus development using the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-a-chip, part of NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion. In addition, NVIDIA is collaborating with Amazon to advance Alexa Custom Assistant with multimodal edge AI capabilities on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX accelerated compute, enabling automakers to deliver ambient in-cabin intelligence with privacy in mind and enhanced performance.

Uber is building one of the world?s most expansive autonomous ride-hailing networks powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion. Supported by a growing roster of automaker platforms, NVIDIA and Uber announced an expanded partnership to launch a fleet of autonomous vehicles entirely powered by the full-stack NVIDIA DRIVE AV software across 28 cities and four continents by 2028. The rollout will begin with Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area in the first half of 2027.

This DRIVE Hyperion-powered fleet will tap into NVIDIA Alpamayo open models and the NVIDIA Halos operating system to accelerate the development and deployment of safe, scalable robotaxi services worldwide. Other mobility leaders including Bolt, Grab and Lyft are also leveraging NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion to accelerate autonomous mobility initiatives, signaling broader industry momentum toward software-defined robotaxi fleets.Extending NVIDIA DRIVE?s full-stack approach to software safety, NVIDIA Halos OS delivers a universal safety foundation for production-ready, scalable autonomy on DRIVE Hyperion.Built on ASIL D-certified DriveOS foundations, its unified, three-layer safety architecture integrates safety middleware and deployable safety applications ? including an NCAP five-star active safety stack to provide the guardrails that enable reasoning-based AI systems to operate with verifiable, automotive-grade integrity at scale.To continuously validate and support the rigorous AV safety ecosystem, AEye, Flex, Gatik, Hesai, Lucid, MIRA, PlusAI, Qt Group, Saphira and Valeo are joining the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab.
