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.

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. 

Ensuring passenger safety is a key point in operating a robotaxi. This is why every vehicle is checked over thoroughly - inside and out -- everyday. Chapter 5 of DriverlessEd explains how a robotaxi is prepared for a day of passenger service.

Motional employees share how they grew their careers within the company, from entry-level roles to leading teams building the future of mobility.  

The survey shows that there is significant interest in driverless ride-hail services based on a number of factors including safety, customization, and comfort.

Motional has chosen Los Angeles as the second market for our robotaxi service. Akshay Jaising, our VP of Commercialization, explains why.  

Motional is making its Autonomous Vehicle Cybersecurity Development Lifecycle (AVCDL) publicly available for others to review and adopt, in order to help the industry secure against cybersecurity threats. 

Motional President and CEO Karl Iagnemma, Chief Technology Officer Laura Major, and others told NACTO attendees about the company’s driverless technology, approach to safety and accessibility, and the IONIQ 5 robotaxi. 

If you’re going to be operating on the Las Vegas Strip, you might as well stand out. Motional's IONIQ 5 robotaxi combines an award-winning design with industry leading driverless tech, and passenger-friendly features.  

Motional’s Red Team uses hacker-like tactics to perform penetration testing, evaluating vehicle hardware and software, and overall interconnected ecosystem.

Motional teamed up with BU researchers to test a wearable navigational assistance device that can help improve accessibility for blind ride-hail passengers.

By testing our AV technology in multiple, unique cities we can ensure Motional's driverless vehicles can adapt quickly to new driving environments.

Motional's CEO explains how the company will use its resources to create positive change across a wide variety of causes impacting road safety in urban areas.

Chapter 4 of Motional's DriverlessEd series details the behind-the-scenes work that takes place before robotaxis can start picking up passengers,  including creating high-detail street maps, building a garage, and completing test drives.
