To join the robotaxis trend, Lucid Motors announced a partnership with Uber et Only to transform your SUV Gravity by autonomous taxi.
The announcement was made last Monday (January 5) during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, according to a report from the site Car and Driver.
According to the company, the new Gravity autonomous will be used for a global robotaxis service and will offer a new cabin experience designed by Uber.
The Gravity updated looks virtually identical to its original version, but it is now equipped with a sensor array including high-resolution cameras, sensors LiDAR solid state and radar sensors.
Sensors are distributed throughout the body and on the roof-mounted ‘halo’, which also includes integrated LED lights to help customers identify the correct vehicle and provide status updates throughout the journey.
The Gravity uses the calculation platform Drive AGX Thor of Nvidiadesigned for autonomous vehicles, as well as an autonomous driving system developed by Only.
Inside, seating six passengers, interactive screens allow passengers to adjust the air conditioning, music, and contact support Uber to request the vehicle to stop.
The screens also provide a view of what the robotaxi sees and its planned route, including possible maneuvers, such as changing lanes or slowing down at lights, so passengers are never surprised by the vehicle’s movements.
The companies said autonomous road testing began last month with prototypes supervised by human operators in the San Francisco Bay Area, United States.
Production of the robotaxi is expected to begin this year at the factory Lucid Motors in Arizona. At the same time, the robotaxi service, managed by Uberis expected to launch for San Francisco audiences shortly thereafter.
