Earlier this year, Lucid, Uber, and Nuro announced a massive robotaxi deal that would see the deployment of 20,000 autonomous vehicles in the US over the next six years. The fleet will be owned by Uber or a third-party fleet management partner.

Uber’s vision is to create a single mobility network that connects human drivers and autonomous vehicles. In the near future, riders may not notice whether their trip is handled by a person or an AI-powered robotaxi – both will operate on one unified Uber platform.
