Uber is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into Lucid and autonomous vehicle technology startup Nuro in a bid to launch its own robotaxi service.

Uber has committed to investing hundreds of millions in both Lucid and Nuro as part of the program. The plan includes the installation of hardware in Lucid Gravity vehicles to handle Nuro’s autonomous driving system during the assembly line, before the software is added when the car is commissioned by Uber.

Tesla's robotaxi encountered three disengagements or human interventions during Business Insider's test of the service.

Uber and Baidu join forces in the self-driving taxi market, combining Uber's network with Baidu's Apollo Go robotaxi fleet that has completed over 11 million rides across 15 cities.
