"Lucid Motors closed out 2025 with some very encouraging news. The automaker had avoided the slump in sales that affected other electric vehicle manufacturers while also reaching a manufacturing goal that some observers had viewed with skepticism. The company had another big announcement to make to start off the new year, and this one had to do with a different aspect of their business - and one that doesn't factor in human drivers at all."
"Lucid provided an update on an autonomous vehicle initiative that the company has been working on with Uber and Nuro. (Nuro's name may be less familiar than those of its partners in this venture; it was founded in 2016 by Waymo alumni, and has worked on developing both delivery vehicles and self-driving systems.) Their update wasn't just on what was coming up; instead, Lucid shared that testing for this venture was already in progress."
Lucid Motors ended 2025 having avoided the EV sales slump and achieved a previously questioned manufacturing target. The company announced progress on an autonomous initiative developed with Uber and Nuro and confirmed that testing is already underway. Lucid, Nuro and Uber plan to begin transporting passengers in the Bay Area during 2026. A prototype drawing design and experiential cues from the Lucid Gravity was displayed at CES 2026. Lucid emphasized engineering, range, and interior comfort combined with Nuro's autonomy and Uber's scale. Production is expected to begin later in 2026 if testing goes well.
