Uber's Robotaxi Push in Houston

Uber is accelerating its self-driving ambitions with a premium robotaxi launch in Houston by mid-2027, targeting dozens of cities next. Partnering with Lucid and Nuro, they’re competing head-on with Waymo in key markets like San Francisco. Nuro’s testing Lucid Gravity SUVs without safety drivers in SF, while Uber’s Houston fleet of 100 vehicles includes safety operators and is backed by a massive 50,000-square-foot depot. Lucid is scaling production in Arizona, and Uber is focusing on rider experience. The race is on — but trust, tech, and business models remain the real hurdles.
