The Ioniq 5-based self-driving vehicles currently operate with a safety monitor across five zones including the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, with plans to go fully driverless by end of 2025. The launch marks a significant recovery for Motional, which two years ago faced an existential crisis after Aptiv withdrew funding, forcing Hyundai to inject $1 billion and the company to lay off 40% of its workforce and pivot to a neural network-based AV approach. Uber continues expanding its autonomous vehicle network, having signed deals with over 25 AV companies globally, including Wayve/Nissan in Tokyo and Zoox in Las Vegas announced the same week. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
