DETROIT : Autonomous vehicle venture Motional and ride services company Via said they will launch on Thursday a robo-taxi service in Las Vegas, the latest step by Motional toward commercial deployment of its autonomous vehicle systems.
Motional CEO Karl Iagnemma told Reuters the company is on track to launch fully driverless rides late next year using Hyundai electric vehicles on Lyft Inc's network in Las Vegas in a separate initiative. “Everything in this industry has accelerated," Iagnemma said."Now the question is how quickly can you scale?"
