Lucid X Uber: The Alliance That Could Rewrite Autonomy

Lucid's advanced EV tech is validated by this deal, but its financial struggles and execution risks remain—this is not an instant turnaround. Uber gains strategic control over its AV future, cutting labor costs and owning the customer relationship, making this a meaningful catalyst for the company.
