Uber has launched an all-electric robotaxi service in Las Vegas through a partnership with Motional. While the Motional IONIQ 5 robotaxi is designed for driverless operations and is a SAE Level 4 autonomous vehicle, it currently still requires a human operator to monitor the road. This initiative is part of Uber’s broader strategy to expand its autonomous vehicle offerings and includes global partnerships with Wayve and Nissan for robotaxis in Tokyo, and Zoox in the U.S.
