Uber’s Lucid Robotaxi Is Coming in 2026—and It’s Already Testing on Public Roads

Most CES “future car” reveals feel like stage props. This Lucid robotaxi shows up as a real vehicle that already drives real streets.

In Uber’s CES robotaxi press release, Uber, Lucid, and Nuro say they showed “production intent” robotaxi vehicles at CES 2026. They mean it as a close-to-final build, not a show-only shell.

They also say road tests started in December 2025 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nuro runs the testing with test cars on public roads. A trained crew keeps watch.
