https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-rival-lucid-unveils-prototype-203113870.html
Lucid Group Inc. on Monday unveiled a prototype of its new Robotaxi built in collaboration with ride-hailing giant Uber Technologies Inc. and Nuro Inc.
Lucid Unveils Robotaxi Prototype
The automaker revealed the prototype, based on its Gravity SUV, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026. The prototype features cameras, radars, as well as LiDAR sensors. Lucid revealed that the sensors are placed in a "halo" structure on the roof of the vehicle, like Alphabet Inc.-owned Waymo’s autonomous vehicles.
Lucid also shared that the company intends to start production at its Arizona facility later this year, with the company targeting a San Francisco Bay Area launch for the Robotaxi service sometime in 2026, Lucid said. The Robotaxi will also rely on Nvidia Corp.’s DRIVE AGX Thor technology, which is a part of the chipmaker's DRIVE Hyperion platform.
Lucid's Robotaxi Operations
The company aims to deploy over 20,000 Gravity Robotaxis across multiple cities in the U.S. over the next five years. The Robotaxis are expected to be available to customers via the Uber app.
Seats 6 passengers contrasted to Tesla's inconvenient 2 passenger shit-show.
And unlike Tesla, Lucid's Robotaxi is actually level-4 autonomous.
