GoKawiilLucid partners with Bolt to deploy 25,000 robotaxis across Europe
Lucid and ridesharing firm Bolt have announced a partnership to bring at least 25,000 autonomous vehicles built on Lucid's midsize platform to European roads, with Bolt owning and operating the fleet. Bolt aims to have 100,000 autonomous vehicles on its platform by 2035, though no launch timeline was given for the Lucid-based robotaxis, which will likely use NVIDIA's Hyperion architecture for Level 4 autonomy.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The deal extends Lucid's robotaxi ambitions beyond its existing US partnerships with Uber and Nuro, giving the automaker another outlet for vehicles built on its cheaper midsize platform as it deals with production delays and recent layoffs. For Bolt, the tie-up signals a major bet on autonomous driving to compete with rivals expanding robotaxi fleets globally.
- Bolt will own and operate at least 25,000 Lucid-based autonomous vehicles across Europe.
- The robotaxis will likely use NVIDIA's Hyperion platform and target Level 4 autonomy.
- Lucid is simultaneously pursuing a separate US robotaxi partnership with Uber and Nuro involving 35,000 vehicles.
