Return to the streets of Las Vegas

Uber and Motional have announced the relaunch of their robotaxi service in Las Vegas. This move comes after a period of pause due to a significant corporate restructuring that had impacted Motional, a company backed by Hyundai.

Roadmap to full autonomous driving

Currently, the robotaxis operate with a safety operator on board. The stated goal is to remove this figure by the end of 2026, marking an important step towards full autonomous driving. The service is based on all-electric vehicles, in line with trends towards more sustainable mobility.

Robotaxi market context

The robotaxi market is constantly evolving, with several companies competing to develop and deploy autonomous driving technologies. Technical, regulatory and public acceptance challenges remain crucial factors for the success of this new form of transportation.
