Welcome to the future of autonomous electromobility.

Self-driving cars used to be the kind of thing we only saw in sci-fi movies – but not anymore. Now we can look forward to riding in self-driving IONIQ 5-based robotaxis in cities around the world – starting in Las Vegas in 2023.

Sit back and relax, the robotaxi has all the comfort and cutting-edge features of the award-winning all-electric IONIQ 5.

Safety

Bringing the best driver behaviours to self-driving.

The all-electric IONIQ 5-based robotaxi is an SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Level 4 autonomous vehicle that can safely operate without a driver. To make the robotaxi a reality, Hyundai partnered with Motional, a pioneer and leader in driverless technology to equip the award-winning IONIQ 5 with an array of hardware and software to ensure safe and secure driverless operation.

Over 30 sensors for safe operation.

IONIQ 5 robotaxi elegantly integrates over 30 sensors, including cameras, radar and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to provide robust 360-degree perception, high-resolution images and ultra-long range object detection for safe autonomous operation. By making the self-driving technology visible, it says to the world:  “I’m well-equipped to take you where you want to go, safely”.

Sustainability

More freedom of mobility. Less congestion & emissions.

We’ve brought our robotaxi to life in order to address real-world issues that affect us all — namely congestion, traffic accidents, and air pollution — and ultimately realise a greater freedom of mobility for more people.

    Reduce traffic congestion.

    Considering the rise of mega cities around the world, electric robotaxis will help conserve energy and reduce traffic congestion before it gets worse.

    Less accidents.

    Autonomous technology will greatly improve the safety of our roads by potentially reducing accidents, in the process helping to save lives.

    Less tailpipe emissions.

    The more all-electric robotaxis like IONIQ 5 are on the road, the more they can absorb the mobility demand in cities, resulting in less tailpipe emissions in urban areas.
