Uber, Lucid partner on new robotaxi service, taking on Waymo and Tesla
Uber (UBER) is betting big on robotaxis, with pure-play electric vehicle maker Lucid (LCID) as its partner. The two companies, along with autonomous tech firm Nuro ( announced on Thursday morning a 'next-generation premium global robotaxi program' exclusively for the Uber platform. The new robotaxi program would outfit the Lucid Gravity SUV with Nuros Driver Level 4 autonomous software, deployed on Uber's platform and fleet management systems. Uber says the goal is to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid EVs equipped with the Nuro Driver over the next six years. The Lucid EVs will be owned and operated by Uber or its third-party fleet partners, and the service is expected to launch next year in a 'major US city.' A Lucid robotaxi prototype using Nuro software is already being tested at Nuro's Las Vegas proving grounds. As part of the deal, Uber said it will invest $300 million in Lucid, and a similar 'multi-hundred-million dollar" investment in Nuro. 'We're thrilled to partner with Nuro and Lucid on this new robotaxi program, purpose-built just for the Uber platform, to safely bring the magic of autonomous driving to more people across the world,' Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement. 'This investment from Uber further validates Lucid's fully redundant zonal architecture and highly capable platform as ideal for autonomous vehicles,' Lucid interim CEO Marc Winterhoff said. 'This is the start of our path to extend our innovation and technology leadership into this multi-trillion-dollar market.' The Uber-Lucid-Nuro robotaxi program is the latest bet on robotaxi services in the US, following Waymo's leadership in the space as the only true operator. Uber has also partnered with Alphabet's (GOOG) Waymo in deployments in Austin and Atlanta. And just this week, Tesla (TSLA) expanded its robotaxi testing in Austin, and Musk said the company would expand testing to the San Francisco Bay Area. However, reports suggest those applications for those state permits have not been submitted. Uber once had its own robotaxi operations, but the company pulled its efforts following a high-profile accident in Tempe, Arizona, in 2018. As for Lucid, the California-based company announced a strong second quarter of deliveries, with the new Lucid Gravity SUV arriving in showrooms. Lucid's goal to deliver 20,000 Air sedans and Gravity SUVs in 2025 seems ambitious, but the orders coming from Uber will help meet that goal, assuming Lucid and ramp up Gravity production. Uber and Lucid, respectively, are Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund's (PIF) top holdings, which may shed some light on why the companies are partnering up. Per PIF's latest 13F statement, noting the fund's holdings as of March 31, the fund owns a $5.31 billion stake in Uber and a $4.29 billion stake in Lucid, though PIF's stake in Lucid makes it the majority owner.

Malaysia vehicle market falls 6% in June
Malaysia's new vehicle market declined by almost 6% to 54,832 units in June 2025, from 58,142 units a year earlier, according to registration data released by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA). GDP growth in the country slowed to 4.4% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, from a downwardly revised 4.9% in the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting slowing export growth and slightly weaker domestic consumption growth. Second-quarter growth is also expected to be weak. Malaysia's central bank cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% at July 2025, the first cut since its last hike in May 2023, as it looks to stimulate domestic growth. In the first six months of 2025, the market declined by 5% to 372,636 units from a record high of 391,451 units in the same period last year, with light passenger vehicle sales falling by 3% to 347,084 units while commercial vehicle sales plunged by 21% to 26,552 units. Separate industry data showed that sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) increased by 61% to 17,143 units year-to-date, driven mainly by China's BYD Auto and its Denza brand with a combined 6,015 units, and the recently-launched Proton with 4,000 sales, while Tesla sold 2,400 units. Total vehicle production in the country fell by 10% to 392,264 units in the first half of the year. Market leader Perodua reported a 2% sales decline to 166,188 units year-to-date, slightly outperforming the overall market, with the Bezza and Axia being the country's two most popular models with 46,175 and 40,650 sales respectively. Proton's global sales fell by 2% to 72,156 units in the first six months of 2025, including 2,250 exports. The Saga was by far its best-selling model with 31,720 sales, followed by the Geely-based X50 compact SUV with 11,350 units, and the Geely-based S70 sedan with 9,345 units. UMW Toyota reported a 6% decline in first-half sales to 44,286 units, with the Vios its best-selling model with 13,390 sales, followed by the Hilux pickup truck with 11,320 units.
