- Hyundai's Motional autonomous division announced that it aims to launch a robotaxi service in Las Vegas by the end of this year.
- Motional has roots in startups launched in the 2010s and has been testing cars since 2021, but now it aims to get serious.
- The effort could boost Hyundai's own autonomy game, but it faces stiff competition from Waymo—which is also about to use Ioniq 5 AVs.
