Bill Ackman’s Uber Bet Just Got a $10 Billion Robotaxi Test
Uber shares rose about 2% Monday, trading near $76.17, after renewed focus on Bill Ackman’s stake and autonomous vehicle plans. Uber and Lucid agreed to buy at least 25,000 Lucid vehicles for robotaxi use, raising Uber’s total Lucid commitment to 35,000 units. An Uber subsidiary will purchase $200 million in Lucid stock. Competition from Waymo, Tesla, and Chinese rivals is intensifying.
