Anticipating Pedestrians Through Blind Spots

Watch on YouTube

Against the record

Motional robotaxi, from Motional (Hyundai), is at stage 3 of 5 on our ladder: pilot. Working with a named customer in a real setting. The latest milestone on its record is from 13 March 2026: Uber added Motional's self-driving Ioniq 5 cars to its app in Las Vegas, in five areas, with a safety monitor in each car.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

You might miss someone walking behind some bushes, but our robotaxi won’t. Navigating busy shopping areas like Town Square means keeping an eye out for what’s coming, even when it’s hidden from view. Thanks to 360° sensing and real-time tracking, we can see past blind spots to keep pedestrians and riders safe. 🌿 👀 #wowwednesday…
