Summary
Uber is launching a robotaxi service in a new market, using Lucid electric vehicles equipped with a self-driving system from Nuro. This will be the second market to have this service.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Uber is rolling out its robotaxi service in another market, because who needs human drivers anyway? Lucid EVs will be used, because electric is the future, supposedly. Nuro’s self-driving system will be on board, because AI is the answer to all our transportation prayers. This is the second market to get this “innovation”, because the first one was a huge success, allegedly. Just what we needed, more robotaxis.
Because what could possibly go wrong with self-driving cars?
