Motional
"Changing How the World Moves"
Hyundai-Aptiv joint venture developing SAE Level 4 driverless vehicles and operating IONIQ 5 robotaxi service in Las Vegas.
Motional is a U.S.-based autonomous driving company formed in 2020 as a joint venture between Hyundai Motor Group, a global vehicle manufacturer, and Aptiv, an automotive technology supplier. The company develops and deploys SAE Level 4 driverless vehicles intended for autonomous ride-hailing and delivery services. Its flagship platform is the Motional IONIQ 5 robotaxi, an all-electric, zero-tailpipe-emissions vehicle based on Hyundai's IONIQ 5 and engineered to operate without a human driver. Motional integrates a full autonomy stack of sensors, compute and software, and has restructured its technology approach around AI, moving from a collection of individual machine-learning models and rule-based software toward a unified AI foundation model for driving.
The company operates a robotaxi service in Las Vegas available through ride-hailing platforms including Uber, Uber Eats, Lyft and Via, and is working to commercialize a fully driverless Level 4 service. Motional is also known for its open-source contributions to autonomous-driving research, notably the nuScenes dataset and related releases such as nuReasoning, which are widely used by the AV research community. The company maintains offices in Boston, Pittsburgh and Las Vegas in the United States and in Singapore in Asia. Motional positions its combined heritage in vehicle manufacturing and automotive software as the foundation for building driverless technology that is safe, reliable and accessible, and integrating it into existing mobility networks for ride-hail and delivery.
