Hyundai Shows Off Ioniq 5-Based Robotaxis Operating In Las Vegas via insideevs.com
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.driving around Las Vegas with no driver, a scene which should become real by the end of next year.
These robotaxis may be based around a Hyundai Ioniq 5, but they were actually created by a specialized autonomous vehicle company called Motional and were revealed back in 2021. In fact, we actually got to see one of them up close in person at last year’s German motor show where it was shown alongside the Hyundai Prophecy concept that previewed the Ioniq 6 streamliner.
