Hyundai Set to Start Rolling Out Robotaxis for Waymo This Fall

Hyundai Motor has confirmed that it will begin shipping its Ioniq 5-based robotaxis to Waymo during the final quarter of this year. The two partners are currently integrating Waymo’s advanced self-driving system into the electric crossover.

This collaboration marks a significant step in the commercialization of autonomous ride-hailing services. By combining Hyundai’s manufacturing expertise with Waymo’s proven autonomous technology, the Ioniq 5 robotaxi is expected to offer a safe and efficient mobility solution.

The initial deliveries will pave the way for broader deployment of autonomous vehicles in urban environments. As both companies continue to work closely, further announcements regarding launch cities and operational timelines are anticipated in the coming months.
