Lucid unveils its new Uber SUV Robotaxis in Las Vegas as it promises a 'unique platform'

EV manufacturer Lucid has unveiled its new Uber self-driving Robotaxis, showing them off in Las Vegas as it promises something ‘unique’ with its SUV.

The electric car manufacturer is one of several that is looking to get in on the Tesla action, with its own self-driving software recently undergoing extensive testing.

Uber once had aspirations to create its own Robotaxi, but partnered with Lucid and Nuro instead to introduce the new Gravity SUV.

Naturally, Las Vegas was chosen to launch the cars, with Lucid taking them to CES 2026 in the city, with operational cars on the horizon.

Lucid has already begun testing its Uber SUV Robotaxis

Lucid partnered with Uber and Nuro to create the new self-driving EV taxis.

Nuro is an autonomous driving company that was founded by former Waymo engineers.

Testing has already begun for the new cars, with the Gravity beginning the program in December 2025.

Lucid has confirmed that the first operational cars will all be in the San Francisco Bay area upon the completion of testing.

The EV manufacturer is promising a ‘unique platform’ thanks to the range and comfort of the Gravity.

This is aimed at producing an ‘experience like no other.’

There are several ways in which the robotaxi can be told apart from one of Lucid’s regular EVs.

The Gravity forms the basis of the robotaxi

Outwardly, there is a purpose-built roof halo on top of the Gravity robotaxis.

This elegant creation includes lidar, high-resolution cameras, and radar for the vehicle.

Lights on the halo are designed to help passengers get into the right taxi.

Inside, the SUV has space for up to six people plus their luggage.

Each ride will be personalized for each customer, with it able to set preferences for heating and music.

A screen inside the car will allow passengers to contact support if there is a problem.

You can even tell the car to pull over if you want to get out of it!

While not the full production model, the company said the vehicle seen at CES 2026 was the ‘production-intent’ model.

So the final version should look very similar, if not identical, to what we have already seen.
