Lucid Motors has delivered its first Gravity electric vehicle to Nuro for a joint project with Uber to launch a fleet of autonomous robotaxis. Under the agreement, up to 20,000 Level 4 self-driving vehicles are expected to roll out over the next six years.

The initial phase is underway in Las Vegas, where engineers are testing sensor installations, software integration, and connectivity with Uber’s platform. These trials include assessing the vehicles’ responses to road conditions and various weather scenarios.

Uber has invested $300 million to support the project. Lucid views the partnership as a strategic move to expand beyond individual consumer sales. Company leadership says production challenges have been resolved, and the focus remains on bringing new electric models to market.

Key hurdles for the alliance include obtaining certifications, developing charging infrastructure, and meeting safety regulations. If successful, the robotaxi fleet could reshape the transportation market and become one of the standout projects of 2025.

Recently, the Lucid Gravity was showcased at the IAA Mobility 2025 auto show in Munich. The large electric SUV is now available for order in Europe, starting at $120,000.
