Nuro released footage on Wednesday showing one of its robotaxi engineering vehicles driving autonomously through busy intersections in downtown Mountain View, California, offering a fresh look at the urban capability of the system it is developing with Lucid and Uber. The clip, posted to the autonomous vehicle startup’s account on X, pairs live multi-camera street footage with a top-down view of how the vehicle’s AI perceives its surroundings. The simulation layer maps a planned path through intersections and turns, flags surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, and shows the car operating in autonomous mode at speeds between roughly 7 and 28 miles per hour. “Training and testing, all day, every day,” Nuro wrote in the post, adding that it was “getting ready to bring autonomy to everyone.” Below is the video shared by the AV startup. Andrew Macdonald, Uber‘s President and Chief Operating Officer, reacted to the clip by commenting: “Steady progress! 💪 “ The Lucid program is only one of Uber‘s robotaxi bets. The ride-hailing company hosts Waymo vehicles on its app and has struck separate deals with developers including Pony.ai, with its Rivian agreement alone worth up to 1.25 billion dollars for as many as 50,000 R2 robotaxis. Uber‘s total robotaxi commitments now exceed 10 billion dollars across its various partners. The Lucid vehicle runs on Nuro‘s autonomy software, and is destined for exclusive deployment on Uber‘s ride-hailing platform. Nuro’s Own Backyard The footage shows the vehicle threading through dense urban traffic, crosswalks and pedestrians, rather than the controlled proving grounds where the program began. Nuro started the partnership’s closed-course work at its Las Vegas test facility, opened in 2021, before moving to public roads. Autonomous on-road testing has been underway in the San Francisco Bay Area since December, led by Nuro using engineering prototypes supervised by human safety operators.
