Now a driverless car is ready to explode in the auto market of India. In partnership with Motional, Hyundai is offering the fully automatic Ioniq 5 Robotaxi. It is worth noting that this car will be a completely driverless car for public ride service starting from 2023. Motional said that the Ioniq 5 robotaxi will start transporting passengers via self-driving service lifts in 2023. The company has claimed that hundreds of thousands of automatic journeys have been done in Las Vegas. Let’s know about its best features.

The Ioniq 5 Robotaxi is Level 4 automatic technology, which means it can auto-drive in all conditions unless a driver takes manual control. It is based on the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 that was introduced earlier this year. The Ioniq 5 itself does not offer any automatic technology.

Carl Ignemma, President and CEO of Motion, said, “This robotaxi is like turning the dream of a driverless car into a reality. Through our strategic partnership with Hyundai Motor Group and Aptiv, we have updated automotive and software expertise in our overall vehicle development process. This assistance enables us to develop a robotic taxi that is highly secure, reliable, and cost-optimized for global production. We are focusing on large-scale commercialization and that is why the Ioniq 5 robotaxi has been created.
