Mark Verthoff, the interim CEO of electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group, has announced that the company's existing financial resources are sufficient to support its operations through the latter half of 2026. However, he emphasized that securing further funding remains imperative. Verthoff expressed optimism that Uber's equity investment would serve as a significant catalyst for the company's growth trajectory. Additionally, he disclosed that Lucid is contemplating a strategic shift towards becoming a fleet management operator. This move aims to diversify revenue streams by acquiring autonomous vehicles and subsequently leasing them to Uber drivers, thereby tapping into a new market segment.
