Uber partners with Lucid and Nuro to bring premium driverless robotaxi rides to Houston, targeting 20,000 autonomous vehicles across US and global markets.

Uber will launch its Lucid-Nuro robotaxi service in Houston in mid-2027, its second US market and a fresh challenge to Waymo on the rival's home turf.

The Lucid, Nuro, and Uber partnership is moving fast. Their next stop after California is Texas.
