Hyundai Shows Off Ioniq 5-Based Robotaxis Operating In Las Vegas
Users are able to call an autonomous Ioniq 5 in Las Vegas through Uber or Lyft.
Hyundai has introduced its Ioniq 5-based autonomous robotaxis in Las Vegas where you can have one pick you up via Uber or Lyft. They currently have safety drivers on board, but in the second half of 2023 the manufacturer plans to have these vehicles operate on their own, without the safety driver.
The manufacturer recently published a video showing the autonomous Ioniq 5 driving around Las Vegas with no driver, a scene which should become real by the end of next year. Apparently Las Vegas was chosen to run this pilot program because it’s a city that can serve up unique and challenging traffic scenarios that the vehicle would not encounter anywhere else.
