"Back in 2025, the partnership between the three companies was announced, aiming to launch a unique ride-sharing platform using over 20,000 Lucid vehicles equipped with the Nuro Driver technology. The vehicles are owned and operated by Uber. The companies have already initiated some testing in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is a big step in the right direction for the project. The plan currently is to launch it to the public in the Bay later this year."
"The Gravity vehicles are fitted with a next-gen sensor array featuring high-res cameras, solid-state LiDAR sensors, and radars that will provide a 360-perception model, as well as a "purpose-built roof-mounted halo designed to maximize sensor visibility," which is seen on top of the Gravity unit above. The halo also has integrated LEDs to help riders more easily identify the correct vehicle by displaying their initials. The halo will also provide clear status updates from pickup through dropoff."
Lucid, Uber, and Nuro will deploy an autonomous robotaxi program in the San Francisco Bay Area with a planned public launch later this year. The program will use Lucid Gravity SUVs equipped with Nuro Driver technology and will be owned and operated by Uber. The initiative plans for over 20,000 Lucid vehicles on the ride-sharing platform, with more than 100 robotaxis already in the Engineering Test Fleet. Nuro will lead testing with engineering prototypes supervised by autonomous vehicle operators. Gravity units include high-res cameras, solid-state LiDAR, radars, and a roof-mounted halo with LEDs and status indicators. Production will begin at Lucid's Arizona AMP-1 factory.
