Uber has partnered with Lucid Group and Nuro to launch a robotaxi program for its ride-hailing platform. The partnership aims to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles equipped with the Nuro Driver over six years in dozens of markets around the world.
The robotaxi service will combine the industry-leading software-defined vehicle architecture of Lucid Gravity, the scalability and proven capability of Nuro Driver Level 4 autonomy system, and Uber’s vast global network and dynamic fleet management. This will deliver a fully integrated robotaxi experience developed for comfort, safety, and scale.
Uber plans to make multi-hundred-million dollar investments in both Nuro and Lucid as part of their deepening relationship with each partner. The first Lucid-Nuro robotaxi prototype is already operating autonomously on a closed circuit at Nuro’s Las Vegas proving grounds.
The partnership will leverage Lucid Gravity’s advanced technology platform, redundant electrical and controls architectures, and long-range capabilities to create a scalable and safe robotaxi experience. Nuro Driver, which integrates an end-to-end AI model with safeguards for precision and reliability, will enable the Lucid Gravity to operate at Level 4 autonomy.
Uber aims to use the benefits of self-driving vehicles to make the ride-hailing service more accessible and beneficial to people everywhere. The partnership is expected to demonstrate what’s possible when proven AV technology meets real-world scale.
The robotaxi program is designed to succeed with high asset utilization, favorable operating costs, proven safety, and global scalability. This will enable Uber to reach millions of people around the world with a safe and reliable ride-hailing service.
