Motional is part of Pittsburgh’s growing high tech ecosystem, which is providing opportunities for talented innovators to plant their roots in the region, instead of moving away. 

Motional’s all-electric IONIQ 5 robotaxis are trained to ignore all the lights and sights that make Las Vegas a memorable experience. and instead focus solely on safely navigating through the complex driving environment. 

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  

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.

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. 

Motional's latest Technically Speaking blog explains how we're using machine learning to speed up the process of mapping public roadways prior to launching commercial passenger service. 

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.

Liliana Salinas, Senior Systems Engineer, talks about what she loves about working on autonomous vehicle technology, her passion for CrossFit, and her dog, a Shiba Inu named Kira. She also shares what Women's History Month means to her.

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.  

For the first time ever, a robotaxi will be on display at the LA Auto Show. Visit Motional's exhibit in the South Hall Atrium. 

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. 

AVs are programmed to follow driving rules and won't double-park or block driveways. Cities could help robotaxis thrive by designating curbside spaces for passenger and package pickups and dropoffs.
