Uber stock jumps after CES robotaxi debut with Lucid, Nuro as AV race heats up
Uber Technologies’ shares rose about 5% to $84.93 in midday trading on Tuesday after it and partners Lucid Group and Nuro unveiled a production-intent robotaxi at the CES tech show in Las Vegas. The vehicle uses Nuro’s Level 4 system — meaning it can drive itself in limited areas without a human — and runs on Nvidia’s DRIVE AGX Thor computer, the companies said. Uber, which sold its self-driving unit to Aurora Innovation in 2020, said testing began in December ahead of a planned launch in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year, as Alphabet’s Waymo and Tesla expand their own robotaxi efforts.
