Uber's Big Bet on Self-Driving Cars

Uber is making a bold move into the world of self-driving cars. By 2027, they plan to have 100, 000 robotaxis on the road. These cars will be powered by Nvidia's technology. This isn't Uber's first rodeo with Nvidia. They teamed up earlier this year. Uber is sharing some of its driving data to help Nvidia improve its AI and chip technology. This tech is used by carmakers to build autonomous vehicles. Nvidia just unveiled a new platform called Drive AGX Hyperion 10. It lets car manufacturers add hardware and sensors to their vehicles. These can work with software that helps cars drive themselves. This is a big deal for Uber. It could make their robotaxis cheaper for consumers. But it's also a big deal for Nvidia. They're at the heart of this new technology. Will this work? It's hard to say. Self-driving cars are still a work in progress. But one thing is clear: Uber is betting big on this technology.
