Overview
- The CES reveal featured a Lucid Gravity-based vehicle with a roof-mounted sensor halo integrating cameras, lidar and radar, running Nuro’s Level 4 system on Nvidia’s Drive AGX Thor.
- Supervised on-road testing began in December on San Francisco streets, supported by an engineering fleet of more than 100 vehicles alongside closed-course and simulation validation.
- Production is expected to start later this year at Lucid’s Arizona factory after final validation, with autonomy hardware shifting from retrofit to assembly-line integration.
- Uber invested $300 million in Lucid and committed to 20,000 vehicles, with the robotaxis set to appear exclusively on Uber and owned by Uber or third-party fleet managers.
- The six-passenger interior carries an Uber-designed rider interface with trip visualization, climate and media controls, support access, a pull-over request, and exterior LEDs that display rider initials.
