That's built on Lucid's Gravity SUV platform.
It offers, you know, luxury, long range, up to 450 miles, seating for six people.
They're handling the manufacturing at their Arizona factory.
Then you've got sort of the brain of this partnership, right?
They're lending their level four NeuroDriver software and sensor suite.
The computing side, that's NVIDIA, right?
So the vehicle runs on NVIDIA's Drive AGX Thor platform, which is basically this incredible supercomputer.
It processes massive data from high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, and radar in real time.
Then finally, you've got the experiential piece, and that's Uber.
Of course, Uber provides this massive user base.
They're designing this exclusive in-cabin interface for this new vehicle, and riders can then one day use the Uber app to summon the vehicle and place an order.
On-road autonomous testing began in the Bay Area just in December.
They're now slating commercial service for late 2026 in the Bay Area.
Uber has said they plan to deploy about
20,000 or more of these vehicles over the next six years across dozens of global markets.
So I think it's a really, really kind of interesting and exciting new entrant into the space.
I mean, obviously this partnership was announced months ago, but this is kind of the first time we've seen some kind of proof of concept of what that could look like.
And I think there's benefits for
all of these different players within this broader ecosystem.
