Uber will invest 300m in electric vehicle maker Lucid in a robotaxi deal that aims to start with one major US city late next year. The two companies announced the new partnership on Thursday. Over six years starting in 2026, Uber will acquire and deploy over 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs that will be equipped with autonomous vehicle (AV) technology from startup Nuro, the three companies said in a statement. The agreement illustrates the renewed plans and push for financing for self-driving cabs, years after a first wave of autonomous driving investment produced only a limited number of vehicles. Tesla has recently launched a robotaxi trial in Austin, and Alphabet's driverless taxi unit, Waymo, is speeding up its expansion.

Uber announced a 10-year partnership with a company called Nuro that's set to start this fall. Nuro is renowned for developing autonomous electric vehicles without space for people that can transport goods like groceries or pizza down the road. In this Slogging thread, our community discussed the usefulness of Uber eats(food) getting delivered by robots. This Slogging thread by Valentine Enedah, GemInRubbles, Sara Pinto and Mónica Freitas occurred in slogging's official #technology channel, and has been edited for readability. Our Uber Eats orders would soon start getting delivered by robots!

Nuro Inc., a company that makes autonomous delivery vehicles for goods such as pizza, relies on AI and specialized technical skills to build and maintain its fleet. How it fills its labor requirements illustrates one of the primary ways that AI is affecting the workforce and upskilling. Nuro's self-driving delivery vehicles ostensibly reduce the need for delivery workers. At the same time, the company, headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., with a manufacturing plant in Las Vegas, is creating new jobs that require a higher level of skills. Even though AI technologies can potentially eliminate jobs, that's not been the case.

More Uber Eats customers would be getting their orders from vehicles with no delivery personnel in sight. That's because Uber has signed a 10-year partnership with Nuro to use its autonomous, electric vehicles to deliver food orders in the US. They'll start in Houston, Texas and Mountain View, California this fall before eventually expanding their service to the greater Bay Area. According to TechCrunch, customers won't get to choose and won't even know if their order is being delivered by a Nuro bot when they make their purchase. That also means they'll be charged the same rates for delivery regardless of what the delivery method is.

The electric revolution is in full swing and has opened the doors to an autonomous, self-driving future. Today's modern cars are capable of Level 2 autonomy using an array of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) driving aids like adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, to name a few. However, legacy automakers like Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford, and BMW are forging Tesla's path in perfecting Level 3 autonomous driving. Self-driving cars are just a stone's throw away from production reality, but there's a new breed of electric vehicles making waves for their innovative applications of self-driving technology. We're talking about a silent (literally) revolution led by driverless delivery vehicles.
