Uber will launch autonomous ride-hailing vehicles in the San Francisco Bay Area this year using Lucid vehicles, Khosrowshahi said. Uber, Lucid and autonomous driving technology developer Nuro began testing their six-passenger vehicle in the Bay Area in December. Khosrowshahi said Uber will begin robotaxi rides in Los Angeles later this year. The company plans to partner with Zoox robotaxis in Las Vegas this year, Khosrowshahi said. Khosrowshahi said Uber is “building out hundreds of cars that are riding in rideshare-specific scenarios with robotaxi-grade kind of sensors.”
