HUMAIN, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) company, will lead the entry of NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion robotaxi-ready platform ecosystem into the Middle East. Leveraging its AI and mobility ecosystem, the Saudi tech company, alongside NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion, will be supporting the development and deployment of Level 4-ready autonomous transportation solutions in the Kingdom and the broader Gulf region.
Under the partnership, HUMAIN will also be looking to build AI factories with a projected capacity of up to 500 megawatts, apart from deploying several hundred thousand NVIDIA GPUs over the next five years.
“An initial phase featuring an 18,000-GPU NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell supercomputer and InfiniBand networking is already underway, establishing the sovereign compute foundation needed to support autonomous vehicle training, simulation, and fleet validation at scale,” HUMAIN said.
“Autonomous mobility will become one of the defining AI platforms of the next decade. By working with NVIDIA, HUMAIN is helping enable the infrastructure, intelligence, and operational scale needed to develop and support the future of Level 4-ready transportation in Saudi Arabia. This collaboration reflects our broader vision to help build AI-native infrastructure platforms that connect the digital and physical worlds at scale,” said Tareq Amin, CEO of HUMAIN.
“NVIDIA is the only company offering a Level 4-ready platform that enables the global automotive industry to build and scale robotaxi and AV fleets. Built on the NVIDIA Halos full-stack safety system for physical AI, NVIDIA’s DRIVE Hyperion combines high-performance NVIDIA DRIVE AGX in-vehicle compute and NVIDIA Halos OS—the software foundation of Halos, built on the safety-certified NVIDIA DRIVE OS operating system—with a compatible multimodal sensor suite and NVIDIA DRIVE AV software purpose-built for highly automated and autonomous driving capabilities,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
“Autonomous mobility is entering its industrial scaling moment. Vehicles are becoming robots, and robotaxi fleets will require AI infrastructure that can perceive, reason, and operate safely in the real world. NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion gives the world’s automakers, AV developers, and mobility networks a common Level 4-ready foundation—uniting compute, sensors, safety software, and a global ecosystem to bring robotaxis from pilots to everyday transportation at scale,” the tech boss added further.
As NVIDIA continues to scale its collaboration with automakers, tier one suppliers, and mobility providers across the Middle East and beyond, HUMAIN’s participation marks a defining step in Saudi Arabia’s journey toward becoming a global leader in AI-driven transportation infrastructure.
