Is This the Dark-Horse Driverless Vehicle Stock to Buy Now?
2026-03-20 20:25:00 ET
Automakers near and far are dipping their figurative toes into new frontiers such as artificial intelligence (AI), humanoid robotics, and driverless vehicles. Some automakers, such as Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are exploring all three areas. For auto investors, owning a company that one day thrives with driverless vehicles , or perhaps vehicles-as-a-service, could be a portfolio-transforming win -- or it could be a disappointment if the company falls short of ambitions.
That raises the question: Does Lucid 's (NASDAQ: LCID) recent announcement with Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) make the young EV maker a buy now?
At Lucid's recent investor day in New York, the young electric vehicle (EV) maker highlighted its strategic near-term plans that included elements of its upcoming midsize platform, its next-generation electric drive unit, and the evolution of its strategic driverless vehicle partnership with Uber. It's really the combination of Lucid's upcoming midsize platform and the partnership with Uber that should have investors intrigued.
