Autobrains and Uber aim to combine Uber's mobility network with Autobrains' "agentic AI" driving system.
Uber and Autobrains plan to deploy their AI-powered robotaxi service in Munich pending approval.
KEY POINTS
The service uses Autobrains' agentic AI system, designed to work across multiple car brands and platforms.
Their approach splits driving tasks into specialized decision-making agents using standard car sensors.
Nvidia's Drive Hyperion serves as the hardware backbone for the combined robotaxi system.
Uber previously announced plans to start autonomous trials in Munich from 2026.
The companies said they aim to combine Uber's mobility network with Autobrains' "agentic AI" driving system, running on Nvidia's Drive Hyperion platform, with Munich set to serve as the first deployment city, pending regulatory approval.

They said the programme is designed to move robotaxi services beyond isolated pilots by creating an "OEM-agnostic" model that can operate across multiple vehicle platforms and urban markets.
Autobrains' system breaks driving into specialised decision-making agents, enabling real-time responses using standard automotive sensors.
Munich has emerged as a testing ground for autonomous mobility, with Uber last year flagging plans to begin self-driving trials there from 2026.
