Motional develops the full sensor-fusion autonomy stack for the Hyundai IONIQ 5-based robotaxi platform, incorporating lidar, radar, and camera inputs. The software stack builds on nuTonomy technology (developed at MIT and acquired by Aptiv in 2017) and has accumulated millions of test miles across Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Singapore. Commercial service relaunched on the Uber platform in Las Vegas in March 2026 across five operational zones, initially with a safety monitor onboard. Motional targets fully driverless commercial operations by end of 2026.
