Lucid Group will extend its partnership with Uber, increasing the planned deployment to at least 35,000 vehicles for use in Uber’s future global robotaxi service, the companies said April 14.

As part of the agreement, Uber will increase its purchase commitment and invest an additional $200 million in Lucid, bringing its total investment to $500 million. Ayar Third Investment Company, an affiliate of the Public Investment Fund, has committed an additional $550 million.

Deployment Timeline and Platform Strategy

The enhanced agreement builds on a partnership between Lucid, Uber, and Nuro announced in July 2025. The companies are preparing to launch a commercial robotaxi service in the San Francisco Bay Area using the Lucid Gravity.

Autonomous testing began in December 2025, led by Nuro, and Lucid completed delivery of test vehicles in February.

Lucid said its future midsize platform is designed for fleet and consumer use, with a targeted starting price below $50,000. The platform is expected to deliver a competitive range with smaller battery packs, along with charging performance and interior space suited for fleet applications.

The company said the investment supports its broader strategy to expand software-defined vehicle platforms and enterprise mobility offerings.
