Lucid and Bolt to Deploy Autonomous EVs Across Europe
WHY IT MATTERS
This partnership marks a significant step forward for Lucid's autonomous technology and could pave the way for widespread adoption of self-driving vehicles in Europe.
What happened
Lucid and Bolt have announced a partnership to build and deploy autonomous vehicles across Europe. The ride-hailing platform aims to put at least 25,000 self-driving Lucid EVs on its network. This is the second major autonomous-fleet deal Lucid has signed in over a year. The partnership rides on a vehicle platform that Lucid delayed six weeks ago.
Lucid has been working on its autonomous technology, and this deal marks a significant step forward. The company's delayed vehicle platform will be used for the autonomous fleet. The partnership will see Lucid and Bolt working together to deploy the vehicles across Europe.
The exact timeline for the deployment is not specified. Lucid has been focused on developing its autonomous technology, and this deal is a key part of that effort. The partnership will help Lucid to test and refine its autonomous technology in a real-world setting.
