Motional launches robotaxi service on Uber app in Las Vegas following company restructuring Hyundai-owned Motional has officially launched its autonomous vehicle service on Uber’s app in Las Vegas, two years after the company faced financial and operational challenges. The self-driving version of the Ioniq 5 is now available for rides in five city areas, including popular spots like Resorts World, Encore, Westgate, Town Square, and Downtown Las Vegas. Currently, a safety monitor is required in the vehicles, but Uber and Motional expect to achieve fully driverless operations by the end of 2026. Motional’s journey has been turbulent: created as a joint venture with Aptiv, the company struggled to meet initial commercial targets, leading to Aptiv withdrawing funding. Hyundai invested an additional $1 billion and restructured the company, including cutting around 40% of the workforce. Motional pivoted its autonomous vehicle technology to focus on AI and neural networks, aiming for scalable and affordable solutions. Prior to the public launch, Motional ran a test robotaxi service for employees in Las Vegas and has plans to expand to multiple cities in collaboration with both Uber and Lyft. The launch adds Motional to Uber’s growing network of autonomous vehicle partners, joining other initiatives like Nissan Leaf AVs in Tokyo and future Zoox robotaxi integration in Las Vegas.

Zoox to Offer Commercial Robotaxi Service on Uber in Las Vegas Pending Federal Approval Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle company Zoox announced plans to integrate its driverless robotaxis with the Uber app in Las Vegas later this year. Currently, Zoox’s vehicles operate without steering wheels or pedals, requiring exemptions from Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) to launch commercially. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened a 30-day public comment period on Zoox’s exemption request. Until full approval, Zoox continues offering free demonstration rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco while mapping and expanding operations in eight additional U.S. cities, including Dallas and Phoenix. The partnership with Uber is described as multi-year and will also extend to Los Angeles in 2027. This marks Zoox’s first collaboration with a third-party ride-hailing platform, though Uber already works with over 25 autonomous vehicle companies worldwide, including Waymo, Baidu, Volkswagen, May Mobility, and Pony AI. Uber has also established divisions to support AV partners, such as AV Labs and Uber Autonomous Solutions, focusing on data collection, operational support, and software development. NHTSA Chief Jonathan Morrison emphasized the importance of establishing clear and effective regulations for self-driving vehicles to ensure safety while promoting innovation.
