When faced with an unusual driving condition, Motional's robotaxis can rely on trained Remote Vehicle Assistance agents to provide guidance on a safe path forward. 

Motional's VP of Commercialization, Akshay Jaising, talks about what the company has learned as it grows its food delivery business and starts delivering Shake Shack orders made through Uber Eats  

Motional's PredictNet approach to prediction uses machine learning principles and a multi-task learning architecture to more accurately predict the future behaviors of surrounding agents.

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.
