Uber, Lucid and Nuro said they began on-road testing for their planned robotaxi service.

The companies said Monday the testing began last month and evaluates a number of capabilities including Nuro's artificial intelligence foundation model. The program also includes closed-course testing and simulation.

Nuro is leading the testing using robotaxi engineering prototypes supervised by autonomous vehicle operators, beginning in the San Francisco Bay Area, the companies said.

Pending final validation, the robotaxi is expected to start production at Lucid's Arizona factory later this year. The companies expect to offer the service in the Bay Area later this year.

The companies announced their plans for the service, which will be offered on Uber's ride-hailing app, in July.
