By the end of this ten year, your next Uber ride can usually be a driver. At least, the Uber is the thing that you believe in (and the investors on the wall street.)
Uber, today luxury electric vehicle manufacturer LUMID and robotics company Nuro announced a new partnership with Nuro. According to the agreement, Uber plans to place at least 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs fleets equipped with Nuro’s self-management technology in the next six years. The Robotaxi service is expected to begin with the plans of expanding to dozens of worlds in a large city that is still unnamed next year.
As part of the transaction, Uber will invest in both Luid and Nuro hundreds of millions.
“Autonomous vehicles have great potential to make our cities in good to make good,” said Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi A Press release. “Nuro, partner and partner with this new Robotaxi program, we got acquainted with this new Robotaxi program, built to bring the autonomous driver’s autonomous driver’s magic to more people in the world.”
This is not the first Uber’s first foray robotaxi work. In September, he declared a partnership with alphabetical ways and now WAYMO was used with autonomous vehicles Austin and Atlanta. Waymo also offers walks with your own application in Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Uber is not alone to promise to promise to promise to bring a sci-fi dream of cities full of driverless taxis.
Tests autonomous taxis in several cities, including Amazon-owned ZOOX, Seattle, Austin, Miami, Los Angeles Atlanta. The company plans to start proposing public walks in San Francisco and Las Vegas by the end of this year.
Even Tesla manages its robotaxi service in Austin parts.
However, despite the obsession with the driver of Silicon Valley, at least, at least any time, at least it should not change the city transport.
Although Uber placed 20,000 robotaxis, it is less than 1% of more than 7 million drivers in the world.
The road to the driverless cars was not without bumps.
At the beginning of this year, Zoox reminded of 270 vehicles With a particular version of the company’s autonomous driving program. It should be noted that it was the result of a car accident involving an empty ZOX car in Las Vegas. This was the second reminder of the company this year.
Meanwhile, General Engines announced that the plugs were drawn to the ambition of the plugs in the late year. The car manufacturer received a cruise automation in 2016 with the hope of starting the fleet of the driver of the driverless vehicle in 2016 in 2016. But in December, GM said financing the unit“To refer to a significant amount of time needed to scale the scale of the work, along with an increasingly competitive robotactic market. ”
Instead, GM uses company technology to develop a driver’s assistance program.
This decision is due to a serious event with a cruise vehicle. One of the cars in October 2023 was a pedestrian in San Francisco – after man already hit another vehicle – and dragged about 20 meters away. Then Cruise Paid $ 1.5 million In order not to complete the details of the accident to the regulators.
