Uber is making a bold move into the robotaxi space by investing hundreds of millions in Lucid and Nuro, planning to launch 20,000+ autonomous SUVs starting in 2026. Lucid’s luxury Gravity SUV will be fitted with Nuro’s Level 4 self-driving tech, available exclusively through the Uber app. Honestly, this is a huge gamble, especially when both Lucid and Nuro have faced financial trouble lately. Still, Uber’s aggressive bet shows it’s serious about leading the autonomous ride market. If they pull this off, it could finally push robotaxis out of test mode and into reality — something the industry has long overpromised.
