The report takes a deep dive into the public perception and understanding of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, including the headwinds AV companies face from the public, generational perceptions, and factors driving adoption. 

Julio Negron, a Senior Creative Designer with Motional, tells us about his favorite project, the best advice he's received in his career,  and what Hispanic Heritage Month means to him.

Motional hires former Hyundai executive to lead company’s corporate strategy towards a driverless future. Sehyuk Park brings more than 25 years of strategy and management experience as Motional prepares to scale commercial services 

As AV technology advances, and the global supply chain responds to industry demand, radars could emerge as the central sensors for robotaxis, says Motional's Chief Technology Officer.

When developing autonomous vehicles, nothing is more important than safety. The safety of those driving, walking, or biking near our robotaxis is just as important as the safety of the person inside the vehicle. Learn how our vehicles respond to their environment in Chapter 7 of #DriverlessEd.

Teams from around the world competed in Motional's 2023 nuPlan Challenge, which helped research into advanced autonomous driving planners.

Motional uses continuous fuzzing to make sure that our software is as safe and secure as possible before deploying it – or if there is a glitch, that the system can handle it gracefully.

Pat Karnchanachari, a Senior Engineer with Motional and our nuPlan™ Team Lead, talks about why he loves working in the AV space, his favorite project, and how he decompresses.

Megan Mears started as a Motional intern before transitioning to a full-time role as a Technical Program Coordinator. Megan discusses her work at Motional and passion for using AVs to increase independence and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

Transformer Neural Networks are receiving increased attention about how they can improve AI-driven technology. Our latest Technically Speaking blog explores how Motional has been using Transformers to make our perception function better. 

Chapter 6 of Motional's DriverlessEd series explores what it's like to ride in a robotaxi, and how Motional's team has designed it to feel familiar even to a first-time passenger.
