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

Straight from Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) to Motional’s Las Vegas Technical Center! Arriving fully assembled from the production line, all the IONIQ 5 robotaxis need is Motional decals. Before getting shipped our way, HMGICS employees perform critical diagnostics, calibration, and validation tasks to ensure the IONIQ 5 robotaxi meet exacting specifications and are ready for autonomous operation. 🚕 ✅
