Uber is relaunching its robotaxi service in Las Vegas with Motional, a company backed by Hyundai. This partnership allows Uber riders to be matched with a Motional Ioniq 5 autonomous vehicle for UberX, Uber Electric, or Uber Comfort rides at no extra cost, with safety drivers initially present but expected to be removed by year-end. This is part of Uber’s strategy to become an aggregator of robotaxi services, expanding its autonomous vehicle offerings in various cities globally.
