Robotaxis: Kiwi's Self-Driving Startup Raises US$203m From Uber, Nvidia at US$6b Valuation

Nuro shifted from owning delivery bots to licensing self-driving technology, attracting $203 million from investors including Nvidia and Uber amid a $6 billion valuation.

  • Nuro, a Silicon Valley autonomous driving startup, closed a $203 million Series E funding round in August 2025.
  • This funding follows their pivot in 2024 from owning delivery fleets to licensing autonomous tech to automakers and mobility providers amid tougher economic conditions.
  • Investors include Uber and Nvidia, with Nvidia joining as a new investor while Uber made a multi-hundred-million dollar investment linked to a broader Lucid partnership.
  • Co-Founder Dave Ferguson noted that the completion of the Series E funding highlights the confidence that Nuro’s investors and strategic collaborators have in the company’s technology, scalable business model, and autonomous vision.
  • The funding values Nuro at $6 billion, down 30% from 2021, and supports plans to scale AI-first tech and grow commercial partnerships including Uber’s planned rollout of robotaxis with Lucid vehicles in 2026.
