The robotaxi service is expected to launch in late 2026 in an unnamed "major US city," and Uber said that a prototype of an operational autonomous Lucid-Nuro vehicle is currently being tested on a closed circuit at a Nuro facility in Las Vegas.

Mark Fields, former Ford CEO, joins 'Power Lunch' to discuss Fields' take on Uber's deal with Lucid, how expensive the Lucid driverless taxis are and much more.

Uber will deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles over the next six years, equipped with Nuro, Inc.’s Level 4 autonomy system, called Nuro Driver.
