Nuro announces new company strategy to license their leading AV technology to OEMs and Mobility Providers. Nuro, Uber, and Lucid announce a Global Robotaxi Program that will operate exclusively on the Uber platform. At Nuro, we are committed to a future where robotics positively impacts everyday life. Our work in autonomous driving technology is just the foundation of a broader initiative to extend the benefits of robotics to a wider range of applications in the physical world. By leveraging the AI infrastructure and advanced tooling we are developing, we aim to unlock new possibilities for robotics across various physical domains—a concept we call Artificial General Robotics (AGR). While our first application focuses on delivering safe, reliable, and scalable autonomous driving solutions, we see a future where AGR could enhance everyday living, from smart home robots to more efficient urban mobility systems, further transforming how people live, move, and interact with autonomous technology.
