Uber and Nuro begin testing premium robotaxi service in San Francisco | TechCrunch
"Uber employees can now request rides in a Lucid robotaxi through the Uber app, marking a significant step in the testing of autonomous vehicles ahead of a public launch later this year."
"The Lucid Gravity robotaxi is equipped with high-resolution cameras, solid-state lidar sensors, and radars, enabling the self-driving system to perceive and operate in real-world environments."
"Nuro has completed closed-course testing and initiated public road testing of the autonomous Lucid Gravity SUVs, with 100 vehicles in its engineering fleet to gather real-world data."
Uber employees can request rides in Lucid Gravity robotaxis through the Uber app, marking a testing phase before a public launch. Nuro's autonomous system operates these vehicles, which have a human safety operator present. Uber's partnership with Lucid includes a $300 million investment and plans to purchase at least 20,000 Gravity SUVs. Production of these vehicles is expected to start in late 2026. Nuro has begun public road testing with 100 modified SUVs to gather data on autonomous driving.
