Read original articleLucid Group, Nuro, and Uber have jointly unveiled a production-intent robotaxi built on the all-electric Lucid Gravity platform, integrating Nuro’s Level 4 autonomous driving technology with Uber’s ride-hailing operations. Revealed at CES 2026, the robotaxi aims to deliver a premium passenger experience while enabling large-scale autonomous deployment. Autonomous on-road testing began in December 2025 in the San Francisco Bay Area, marking a critical step toward the planned commercial launch later in 2026. Nuro leads the testing with engineering prototypes supervised by operators to validate safety, performance, and reliability in real-world conditions.
The robotaxi features a next-generation sensor suite combining high-resolution cameras, solid-state lidar, and radar, integrated into a low-profile roof-mounted halo designed to maintain the Lucid Gravity’s aesthetic. Inside, passengers can control comfort settings and view real-time visualizations of the vehicle’s perception and planned maneuvers, enhancing transparency and rider confidence.
