As is always the case with these types of stories, the so-called robotaxis (so we\u2019re just going with this name?) will feature safety drivers behind the steering wheel to make sure the car doesn\u2019t careen into the jets at the Bellagio or something. But the vehicle will still be operated by Motional\u2019s autonomous driving system.<\/p>\n<p>Do you tip the safety driver? Can you offer them a drink? Do they talk? Time will tell.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/motional.com\/news\/motional-launches-first-robotaxi-service-uber-network\">Motional is a joint venture<\/a> between Hyundai and Aptiv, and follows the launch of autonomous deliveries with Uber Eats in Greater Los Angeles. There will be no fares for passengers as of yet, and Motional says it plans to ditch the safety chaperones sometime in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Motional currently has a similar deal with\u00a0Uber\u2019s main competitor, Lyft, but not one with the gondolas in the canal in front of the Venetian. There are plans to expand next to another sunny city where it rarely rains, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, Motional becomes the first AV company to conduct all-electric autonomous rides on the Uber network for public passengers,\u201d said Akshay Jaising, Motional\u2019s Vice President of Commercialization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLas Vegas is the first of many cities in which Motional\u2019s AVs will become an everyday transportation option for Uber customers looking for a safe and convenient ride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those requesting a ride will be be offered an autonomous vehicle, and if they confirm a self-driving Hyundai Ioniq 5 mid-sized hatchback will show up, with two safety monitors inside, and plenty of Uber-patented awkward conversation.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/12\/7\/23496383\/uber-motional-av-robotaxi-las-vegas-ridehail\">The Verge<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
