Overview
- The companies signed a non‑binding memorandum of understanding on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, to collaborate on the development and deployment of Level 4 driverless robotaxi services.
- Under the MoU Stellantis will supply L4‑Ready platforms with embedded sensors and redundancy, Wayve will provide end‑to‑end, camera‑first mapless driving software, and Uber will offer its global app and rider network for operations.
- The agreement is a framework for future work on technology development, licensing, vehicle procurement and testing rather than a final commercial plan, and it does not include a timetable, pricing or service name.
- Wayve and Uber are already running supervised autonomous pilots in cities including London and Tokyo, and those deployments will inform the phased validation needed before any driverless, operator‑free service can expand.
- Investors reacted modestly with Stellantis shares rising after the announcement, and the deal positions the trio against established robotaxi rivals while keeping broader regulatory approval and safety validation as key hurdles.
