Uber Plans San Francisco Robotaxis in Waymo Challenge

Uber is set to launch its own robotaxi service in San Francisco, directly competing with Waymo's self-driving rideshare service. Uber will use over one hundred self-driving Lucid vehicles for this new program, following its recent partnership with Nvidia to deploy one hundred thousand robotaxis starting in 2027. This move is part of a broader trend of carmakers and technology companies collaborating to make driverless vehicles a reality. Waymo, meanwhile, is expanding its robotaxi service to London, while Baidu plans to launch robotaxi services in Germany and Britain, with potential projects in Asia and the Middle East with Uber.
