Uber invests millions in Lucid and Nuro for robotaxi future

According to TechCrunch, Uber has made a multi-million dollar investment in Lucid Motors and Nuro to develop its own robotaxi service — an autonomous, driverless transportation system.

Lucid is known for its luxury electric vehicles, while Nuro specializes in self-driving delivery vehicles. By partnering with both, Uber plans to build a scalable, fully autonomous ride-hailing service.

Initial trials are expected to begin in controlled urban areas. The long-term goal is to deploy a network of safe, clean, and efficient driverless taxis in major cities.

Uber sees this move as a key step in becoming a dominant player in the autonomous mobility market over the next decade.
