Uber, Lucid and robotaxi

Uber's robotaxi deal with Lucid and Nuro isn't worrying gig worker drivers. Here's why they don't think driverless cars will replace humans.
“With recent growth in Austin and California, plus opening in Atlanta with Uber, Waymo now serves more than 700 sq mi across the US,” the company said. According to Waymo, it has driven over 100 million fully autonomous miles without a human behind the wheel.
Riders can hail a Waymo across 90 square miles of Austin, including neighborhoods like Crestview, Windsor Park and Franklin Park and locations like The Domain and McKinney Falls State Park.
Waymo more than doubled its robotaxi service area in Austin just days after Tesla showed off a phallic-shaped service area expansion in the city.
As part of the arrangement, Baidu will introduce thousands of its Apollo Go autonomous vehicles on Uber’s platform in areas outside of China and the United States.
Waymo robotaxis are now available exclusively on the Uber app in Atlanta. It’s the second city after Austin host the companies’ burgeoning partnership.
