Avoiding Sudden Stops on Las Vegas Blvd

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

No one likes a sudden stop, especially on Las Vegas Blvd. When a truck merged to reveal a stopped construction vehicle, we safely merged to clear the hazard and kept up with traffic, ensuring a smooth ride.
