Uber's latest robotaxi plan involves 20,000 Lucid EVs


Nuro is powering the autonomous driving tools on Lucid's Gravity SUV.

Uber is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Nuro and Lucid, the latest step in the company’s plan to build an extensive robotaxi program that can roll out globally. The robotaxi service is expected to launch in late 2026 in an unnamed "major US city," and Uber said that a prototype of an operational autonomous Lucid-Nuro vehicle is currently being tested on a closed circuit at a Nuro facility in Las Vegas. According to the new partners, the robotaxi will benefit from the Lucid Gravity SUV’s "advanced technology platform, redundant electrical and controls architectures, and long range," with the latter estimated to be around 450 miles.
