Key Takeaways Lucid shares jumped 36% Thursday on news the EV startup is partnering with self-driving software maker Nuro and rideshare giant Uber Technologies to bring a new group of robotaxis to Uber's platform.

With the ability to cover up to 450 miles on a single charge, the Gravity SUV is expected to function well as a robotaxi, since it will need less downtime for recharging. This way, vehicles will be available for riders more often. Tesla ’s own Model Y is being used as the brand’s robotaxi, but that has nowhere near the range of the Lucid Gravity.

Ross Gerber is pushing back against a partnership between rideshare service Uber Technologies Inc. and automaker Lucid Group Inc.

Lucid's new OTA update adds hands-free driving to Air and Gravity models with DreamDrive Pro, enabling Level 2 hands-free lane changes. The update, available July 30 for Air and 2025 for Gravity, requires drivers to initiate lane changes using the turn signal.
