Bolt, Lucid plan to deploy 25,000 robotaxis in Europe

Estonian ride-hailing service Bolt has partnered with US carmaker Lucid to deploy at least 25,000 fully autonomous vehicles across multiple European cities. The collaboration aims to utilise Bolt’s extensive European data along with Lucid’s software-defined vehicle platform to develop an autonomous driving system (ADS)-ready vehicle platform designed for Level 4 autonomous mobility.

The platform will be built on Nvidia’s Hyperion, a production-ready AV reference architecture. Bolt will own and operate the new vehicles, working across product development through to commercial operation in its new partnership, helping define vehicle requirements, as well as software, safety and rider-experience parameters. The company hopes to grow its AV fleet to 100,000 by 2035.
