"Nuro has become a key player in the robotaxi and autonomous vehicle arena, having already received a California DMV permit for driverless deliveries with its R3 Nuro Robot vehicle."
"The Lucid Gravity robotaxi will feature a multi-pronged sensor system, including high-res cameras, lidar sensors, and radar, along with a roof-mounted LED display."
"The new permit will allow the companies to test the vehicles without human operators at speeds up to 45 mph, day or night, in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties."
"Lucid said that it planned to launch the robotaxi service 'later this year' and revealed that Uber had boosted its funding in the company to $500 million."
Nuro has obtained an updated permit to test its Lucid Gravity robotaxis on California streets, a significant step in Uber's initiative to deploy 100,000 driverless vehicles in the US. The companies plan to begin fully-autonomous testing later this year. Nuro, supported by NVIDIA, Toyota, and Uber, has previously received a permit for driverless deliveries. The Lucid Gravity robotaxi will feature advanced sensors and luxury interiors. Testing will now occur without human operators at speeds up to 45 mph in designated counties, with plans for a robotaxi service launch later this year.
