Nuro Driver

1. 5

   Regulator-cleared or mass market

   A regulator has cleared it where approval applies: FDA clearance or approval for a medical robot, a permit to run with no one aboard for a self-driving vehicle, or an FAA approval for routine drone flights. Or: Widely sold: sales in the hundreds of thousands, or a product category you can buy in ordinary shops.

2. 4

   Paying customers

   Delivered to customers who pay for it, beyond a trial, or a paid service the public can use.

3. 3

   PilotThis robot

   Working with a named customer in a real setting, as a trial.

   Placed by: Select Uber employees began requesting rides in Lucid robotaxis running Nuro's system in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a safety operator behind the wheel. Uber also invested several hundred million dollars in Nuro (13 April 2026).

   Held at this stage: The 2020 California permit covered Nuro's small delivery vehicle. Its current work, robotaxis built with Lucid and Uber, is still in testing with safety operators and lacks California's permits for paid driverless rides.
