Will.i.am showed us what the future of mobility could look like with Nvidia’s AI, and it is very clearly not a robotaxi.
Instead, the Black Eyed Peas frontman has revealed TRINITY, a single-seat, three-wheeled EV where you do the driving and AI does the thinking.
The concept debuted at Nvidia’s CES 2026 Showcase as a rolling demo of what happens when artificial intelligence becomes the co-pilot.
It is less about autonomy and more about making the driver feel like they’re in the future.

Nvidia’s ‘brain on wheels’ is pretty impressive
TRINITY is a self-balancing, all-electric three-wheeled vehicle built for one person, complete with a fully enclosed cabin and luxury interior, but the real magic is inside.
The vehicle runs on Nvidia DGX Spark, which powers an AI system known as the Agentic Operator.
This digital ‘brain’ can manage tasks, understand goals, and respond to you in a conversation while you are driving.
It also taps into visual awareness and language processing to feed smarter navigation, audio, and in-car experiences.
Sound plays a huge role too, with AI-driven audio tech like SoundDrive and FYI RAiDiO designed to adapt music in real time based on what you’re doing, so it isn’t surprising that it has backing from the Black Eyed Peas frontman.
Will.i.am is the face of the future of mobility
Calling TRINITY micro-mobility feels almost unfair, because it’s engineered to hit 60mph in under two seconds, with a top speed aiming for 120mph and an estimated 150-mile range.
The self-balancing system comes from DEKA Research and Development, with West Coast Customs and Ryan Friedlinghaus involved in the build.
Will.i.am has reportedly funded the project himself, with plans for a Kickstarter launch priced under $30,000, a 500-unit run, and first deliveries targeted for 2027.
It is bold, experimental, and very will.i.am.
