Nuro has received a permit to conduct driverless testing of Lucid Gravity SUVs equipped with its autonomous technology on California roads, aimed at supporting Uber's upcoming robotaxi service. Although Nuro is not yet ready to start testing, it plans to do so later this year, while also navigating additional regulatory requirements.
Nuro has received a driverless testing permit in California for Lucid Gravity SUVs, which will be used in Uber's premium robotaxi service. This marks a significant step in their collaboration with Uber, but additional regulatory hurdles remain, such as securing a driverless ride-hailing permit and a deployment permit. The move underscores the importance of regulatory navigation in advancing autonomous vehicle deployment, particularly for companies like Nuro and Uber aiming to scale their robotaxi operations.
