Key points
- Wayve, Stellantis and NVIDIA announced a joint AV deployment initiative with the French Government on 23 Oct 2026.
- The project combines Stellantis’ L4‑Ready platforms, Wayve’s AI Driver, and NVIDIA’s Halos OS on Hyperion compute hardware.
- Earlier Wayve‑Stellantis partnership showed Level 2++ supervised driving on Fiat 500e and Maserati Grecale in Oct 2026, aiming for 2028 launch.
The effort builds on a May 2026 strategic partnership between Wayve and Stellantis that already combined the Wayve AI Driver with Stellantis’ STLA AutoDrive platform. At the Wave by Vento 2026 event in Turin on 9 October 2026 the companies demonstrated Level 2++ hands‑free, door‑to‑door supervised driving on a Fiat 500e and a Maserati Grecale, achieving integration to road testing in less than four weeks. The partners target a broader L4‑Ready rollout beginning in 2028, starting in North America.
French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said France will adapt its regulatory framework to speed AV development while keeping safety and data‑sovereignty safeguards. Wayve’s VP of Autonomous Mobility Kaity Fischer, Stellantis SVP Anne Laliron and NVIDIA VP Ali Kani all emphasized the need for joint work with unions, city authorities and mobility stakeholders to ensure a responsible transition that benefits workers and communities.
