Overview
- Lucid said its upcoming midsize models will target privately owned Level‑4 capability using two Nvidia Drive AGX Thor computers running DriveOS and a multi‑sensor suite of cameras, radar and lidar.
- The midsize lineup is due to enter production next year at a roughly $50,000 starting point, launching with supervised driving features before moving toward “mind‑off” operation over time.
- Nvidia and Uber announced an alliance to begin scaling a robotaxi fleet in 2027, with a public target of 100,000 vehicles built on the Drive AGX Hyperion 10 architecture for Level‑4 automation.
- Stellantis plans to produce Nvidia‑ready robotaxis with Foxconn starting in 2028, and Uber expects an initial U.S. deployment of about 5,000 vehicles before expanding to additional markets.
- Lucid will adopt Nvidia’s Industrial AI tools, including Omniverse and AI Enterprise, to create a unified “AI factory” aimed at accelerating production, improving quality and reducing costs; the company is also reported to be selling thousands of vehicles to Uber for retrofit beginning in 2026.
