Uber adds Motional to its stable of robotaxis.

Uber out here collecting robotaxi companies like they’re Pokémon! The majority Hyundai-owned Motional is operating a fleet of autonomous Ioniq 5s in Las Vegas. The arrangement is similar to Uber’s other AV partners: riders who indicate they’re interested in robotaxis may get matched with one of Motional’s vehicles.

The cars will have safety drivers behind the wheel, though perhaps not for long: Motional says it’ll remove them by the end of the year.
