Uber has announced a partnership with Lucid and Nuro to deploy over 20,000 robotaxis over the next six years, investing $300 million in Lucid. Nuro will provide the self-driving technology for these vehicles, which are set to launch in a major U.S. urban hub next year, marking a significant step in Uber's expansion into the autonomous vehicle market.
Nvidia and Uber are collaborating to launch a fleet of 100,000 fully autonomous robotaxis by 2027, utilizing Nvidia's Drive AGX Hyperion 10 technology for level-4 automation. While Uber will not manufacture the vehicles, it will partner with automotive companies like Stellantis and Mercedes-Benz to build the fleet, aiming to establish a significant presence in the autonomous ride-hailing market.
