The Ioniq 5 is entering service early. The vehicle is ready to start offering rides to the public in Las Vegas. The Ioniq 5 is the first fully electric self-drive car to join the network.
Motional, a joint venture betweenHyundai and Aptiv, had been testing self-drive vehicles in Las Vegas. The Ioniq 5 is integrated into the software of the company that makes it. You can open the doors when the car picks you up. If the car ever needs to be rescued from a traffic situation it doesn't understand, you can contact a remote agent at any time, and there is a dedicated passenger display inside.
"Launching Motional's all-electric Ioniq 5 on Lyft's network in Las Vegas represents tremendous progress in our vision to make an electric, autonomously, and shared future a reality for people everywhere," said green. Today's launch gives riders access to Motional's technology in a way that will feel familiar and personalized, all on a network they already trust.
In the not too distant future, fully driverless cars will be brought to multiple US cities. The company isn't sure where the vehicles will be deployed next. Before they can offer rides to the public, they have to get approval from regulators.
