Lucid Group marked a milestone yesterday with the grand opening of its first San Jose studio and service center at 250 Stockton Avenue. This facility expands the company's Bay Area presence, joining existing studios at Westfield Valley Fair Mall and in Newark, near headquarters. The event drew attention with appearances from company executives, a ribbon cutting ceremony, and demonstration drives of the Lucid Air sedan and Lucid Gravity SUV, allowing attendees to experience these electric vehicles firsthand.
In July, Lucid, Uber, and Nuro announced a massive robotaxi deal that would see the deployment of 20,000 autonomous vehicles in the US over the next six years. But every journey begins with a single step, and today Lucid announced the delivery of the first Gravity SUV to Nuro for retrofitting. The vehicle was built at Lucid's factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, and then transported to the automaker's headquarters in Newark, California. There, a team from Nuro installed the sensors and other hardware for autonomous driving.
