Uber begins test rides of Nuro-equipped Lucid Gravity robotaxi
Level 4 autonomous technology expert Nuro shared the latest milestone of a partnership with Uber Technologies and Lucid Motors to develop a fleet of Gravity Robotaxi SUVs. Per the company, a select group of riders has begun test rides in California. Today’s latest robotaxi milestone involving Nuro, Uber, and Lucid Gravity dates back to July 2025, when the autonomous technology developer, rideshare and logistics network, and American EV automaker (respectively) announced an exciting new partnership. Through the collaboration, Uber Technologies has committed to deploying up to 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs converted to robotaxis using Nuro’s level 4 autonomous driving platform, Driver. By late October, Uber had announced where it would initially begin rolling out these Nuro-equipped Lucid Gravity robotaxis – the San Francisco Bay Area. Shocker! By January, Nuro, Uber, and Lucid Motors had unveiled a production-intent version of the Gravity robotaxi, which was beginning road testing right away. This morning, Nuro confirmed that it has moved into the next phase of development, beginning public test rides in, you guessed it, the Bay Area. If you’re itching to hail a Gravity robotaxi, however, you’ll still have to wait, as these test rides are currently available only to Uber employees.

This latest test program, which began last week, still includes a safety driver in the front seat. However, Uber employees can request the Nuro-equipped Lucid Gravity vehicles directly through the rideshare app as they validate the experience and provide feedback ahead of a full commercial launch. Per the release: This kind of testing helps connect the autonomy stack, the vehicle platform, and the rider experience in a live operating environment. It gives the teams a way to refine the service as the program moves closer to launch. We’ve moved quickly and with rigor toward launch, drawing on years of Level 4 deployment experience and a deep focus on safety, reliability, and execution. According to Nuro, its robotaxi engineering fleet is nearing 100 vehicles, which are gathering real-world data of autonomous driving across several US cities. As stated during the initial announcement of the partnership, the robotaxi fle...
