Lucid and Baidu Expand Global Robotaxi Ambitions

Yahoo Finance ·

Early Uber investor Jason Calacanis predicts all automakers will pivot to robotaxi operations, highlighted by Lucid's partnership with Bolt to deploy at least 25,000 Level 4 autonomous vehicles across European cities using Nvidia's Hyperion architecture. The fleet will be built at Lucid's Saudi Arabian plant starting next year. This follows Lucid's U.S. agreements with Uber and Nuro involving up to 35,000 vehicles. Simultaneously, Baidu is conducting driverless Apollo Go tests in Hong Kong, targeting commercial permits. In the wider industry, partnerships involving Rivian, Stellantis, and Wayve continue to multiply. Meanwhile, Tesla faces a September 30 regulatory deadline to justify the safety compliance of its steering-wheel-free Cybercab in Austin.

Lucid announced plans to partner with Bolt to deploy 25,000 Level 4 autonomous vehicles in Europe by 2035. Meanwhile, Baidu is conducting fully driverless Apollo Go tests in Hong Kong, accelerating the global autonomous driving race. Investors expect the rapid growth of the robotaxi market to become a new growth driver for automakers and related technology companies.

DYAX 전담 분석

As automakers enter the robotaxi market in partnership with mobility platforms, related technology suppliers are expected to benefit. Lucid and Bolt's 25,000-unit contract and adoption of the NVIDIA Hyperion architecture directly drive demand for semiconductors and autonomous driving components.

The bullish scenario is accelerated commercialization driven by faster regulatory approvals, while the bearish scenario is sector-wide investor sentiment cooling due to unexpected variables such as Tesla's Cybercab failing safety regulation clearance. Future commercialization progress and approval indicators from regulatory agencies in various countries should be closely monitored.
