Lucid Names Silvio Napoli CEO, Raises $1B+, Expands Uber Robotaxi Deal

Lucid Motors appointed Silvio Napoli CEO while closing over $1 billion in fresh funding and expanding its Uber robotaxi partnership to 35,000 vehicles.

Napoli was Chairman and CEO of Schindler Group, running a global elevator and escalator manufacturer. He’s replacing Peter Rawlinson, who stepped down in early 2025 and now serves as CTO. Marc Winterhoff, interim CEO, moves to COO.

Napoli brings global manufacturing excellence, operational discipline, and capital allocation expertise. All three critical for Lucid as it scales production and executes on autonomous vehicle ambitions with Uber and Nuro.
