Overview
- On-road development is underway, with an engineering fleet of about 100 Lucid Gravity SUVs equipped with Nuro’s autonomous system slated to test in the coming months.
- Uber says the service will be owned and operated through its app, drawing on a commitment to deploy at least 20,000 Lucid vehicles over six years across multiple markets.
- Nuro and Lucid have begun delivering and retrofitting engineering prototypes, and Nuro will lead safety validation through simulation, closed courses, and supervised road tests.
- Before taking paying passengers, the program must secure driverless operations authorization from the California DMV and ride-hailing approval from the CPUC.
- In parallel, Nvidia-led partnerships are positioned to expand supply from 2027, including a Stellantis–Foxconn plan to provide at least 5,000 Nvidia-powered vehicles with production targeted for 2028, as Uber prepares broader fleet scaling.
