Why it matters for readers: It explains who’s providing the driving software and why Madrid will be used first to gather the data needed to make autonomous cars work in Europe.

  • Bolt’s fleet of at least 25,000 Lucid robotaxis will run Nvidia’s Alpamayo Stack self-driving software.1
  • The program starts with a data-collection phase in Madrid in 2027, during which vehicles will not carry riders initially.1
  • The Lucid vehicles are built around Nvidia’s Hyperion reference compute and sensor design, with Nvidia’s Halos safety tools layered on top.1
  • Bolt and Nvidia will tune and validate the software for European driving, with Germany and France named as additional target markets.1
  • Lucid now has two robotaxi customers using different autonomy systems: Nvidia for Bolt in Europe and Nuro for Uber’s Gravity in the US.1
