"Crucially, all of this extra tech is added to the Gravity as it's being built at Lucid Motors' Casa Grande, Arizona factory, saving the companies some time and money. By comparison, Waymo currently has to take apart the I-Pace SUVs it receives from Jaguar and integrate the autonomous tech as it puts them back together. (Future Waymo vehicles are planned to be more purpose-built.)"
"The newest element revealed at CES has to do with how users will interface with the Uber-Lucid-Nuro robotaxi. That includes a small screen on the halo meant to greet riders and a ride interface inside the cabin. Anyone who has ridden in a Waymo will find this UI experience familiar. The rear passenger screen shows an isometric graphical view of the robotaxi moving through city streets, with representations of nearby cars and pedestrians."
Uber, Lucid Motors, and Nuro developed a production-intent robotaxi based on the Lucid Gravity SUV and plan a commercial service in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year. The vehicle is already being tested on public roads and includes high-resolution cameras, solid-state lidar, radars, and Nvidia Drive AGX Thor for autonomy. A roof-mounted halo houses sensors and integrated LED lights for rider identification, while a small halo screen and an in-cabin ride interface provide a Waymo-like UI. Lucid installs the autonomy hardware during manufacturing at its Casa Grande, Arizona factory to save time and cost.
