Lucid Eyes Rolling Out Gravity SUVs As Robotaxis On Uber In Europe

• He added that the partners are already preparing together, though the timeline will depend on regulatory approvals and certifications in each market.
• Uber Technologies, Lucid Group, and Nuro announced a strategic partnership in July 2025. 
• Nuro also announced on Thursday that it is establishing its first on-the-ground presence in Europe with a new hub in the Munich area.

Lucid Motors’ (LCID) robotaxi program with Uber Technologies (UBER) and autonomous-driving startup Nuro is set to expand beyond the United States into European markets, the electric-vehicle maker’s interim chief executive confirmed Thursday.

In an exclusive keynote at the Financial Times “Future of the Car 2026” summit, Marc Winterhoff told the audience the three-company agreement “is not limited to the U.S.”

LCID shares edged up 2% before paring all gains.

Europe Expansion Efforts

“There are plans, which I cannot go into detail right now, but there are plans to go into other markets as well,” Winterhoff said. “Europe and certain countries in Europe are high on the list. That’s definitely on the roadmap.”

He added that the partners are already preparing together, though the timeline will depend on regulatory approvals and certifications in each market. “The teams are working on that,” he said.

LCID-UBER-NURO Deal

Uber Technologies, Lucid Group, and Nuro announced a strategic partnership in July 2025 to launch a premium global robotaxi program exclusively on the Uber ride-hailing platform.

The agreement was significantly expanded in April 2026, with Uber now committing to deploy at least 35,000 Lucid vehicles—including Gravity electric SUVs and models from the EV maker’s upcoming midsize platform—equipped with Nuro’s “Nuro Driver” autonomy system over six years across dozens of markets worldwide. These vehicles would be owned and operated by Uber or its third-party fleet partners. The collaboration aims to combine Lucid’s luxury vehicles with Nuro’s self-driving technology and Uber’s scale.

Nuro Advances With New Munich Hub

Earlier this month, the Silicon Valley-based Nuro said it has secured a California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Drivered Pilot Permit, which allows it to conduct pilot testing of autonomous passenger service in California with a safety driver, while carrying passengers in test vehicles on public roads. Nuro then said that it is looking to deploy its autonomous vehicle service first in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Alphabet’s robotaxi unit Waymo already operates.

Separately, Nuro also announced on Thursday that it is establishing its first on-the-ground presence in Europe with a new hub in the Munich area.  The European base will support engineering, operations, and partner engagement to validate and adapt the company’s universal autonomy platform across diverse road and regulatory conditions, the firm said.
