NVIDIA describes how leading robotaxi companies are building on its technologies as driverless fleets expand. The company frames the robotaxi market as physical AI’s first commercial breakthrough, projected to reach $400 billion by 2035, with more than 6 million commercial vehicles anticipated in operation. Driverless vehicles are already transporting passengers through some of the world’s busiest and most complex urban environments.

The post distinguishes between two challenges: deploying a single driverless vehicle and scaling an entire fleet.

Why it matters

The projected market size and vehicle volumes point to autonomous mobility moving from pilots toward large-scale commercial operation, positioning it as an early proving ground for physical AI.

Who should care

Autonomous vehicle developers, fleet operators, and companies working in physical AI have a stake in how robotaxi deployment and scaling are approached.
