Uber Engages Hertz (Oro Mobility) to Operate Lucid Robotaxis in San Francisco

Friends, a quick update from the autonomous-taxi space: Uber, Lucid and Nuro have contracted Hertz for operational fleet management.

- Hertz, through Oro Mobility, will handle charging, maintenance, repairs, cleaning and depot operations.
- Launch is planned by late 2026 in San Francisco, based on the Lucid Gravity platform with Nuro technology.
- Uber has already placed substantial orders with Lucid (including the first 10,000 Gravity vehicles) and holds an equity stake.

Why it matters: delegating operations to third-party providers helps scale robotaxi services and reduce operational risk.

Do you think Hertz, via Oro, can become a leader in robotic fleet management?
