Demonstrator · On-demand mobility
An on-demand watertaxi that comes to you.

On demand
Mobility that fills the gaps.
A city's water is an underused network sitting right next to its busiest streets. Lucy treats it like one: point-to-point trips for up to six passengers, summoned when they're needed rather than running a fixed timetable.
By design
Self-driving, supervised.
From the first concept render, Lucy was designed around the same automation stack as the rest of the fleet: planning its route, giving way to other traffic and easing itself alongside, with a human supervising every trip on the path toward autonomy.
