Uber, Lucid Motors, and Nuro have unveiled the production-intent version of their collaborative robotaxi at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show, with public road testing already underway and a commercial launch planned later this year in the San Francisco Bay Area. The robotaxi is based on Lucid’s Gravity SUV and integrates advanced autonomous technology, including high-resolution cameras, solid-state lidar, radar sensors, and Nvidia’s Drive AGX Thor computer. A distinctive roof-mounted “halo” houses sensors and LED lights to help riders identify the vehicle. Unlike competitors like Waymo, which retrofit vehicles post-production, Lucid incorporates the autonomy hardware during the Gravity’s manufacturing process at its Arizona factory, improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The vehicle features a user interface designed by Uber, with screens both on the halo to greet riders and inside the cabin to display ride information such as estimated drop-off time, remaining ride duration, climate controls, and support options. The interior includes a large 34-inch curved OLED display
