Estonian ride-hailing platform Bolt will begin testing robotaxis in Madrid next year using Lucid electric vehicles integrated with Nvidia's Hyperion hardware and Alpamayo AI software, aiming for a commercial rollout in Europe by 2027, expanding to Germany and France. Madrid was chosen due to Spain's permitting framework allowing public road testing, in a competitive landscape including Waymo and Uber robotaxi projects.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new competitor using Nvidia and Lucid tech to scale robotaxi trials in Europe starting Madrid. Prepare to defend or partner around autonomous fleet technology as commercial rollouts accelerate.
