From the article.

>Motional, the autonomous vehicle joint venture between Hyundai and Aptiv, is bringing its robotaxis to Los Angeles, where they will be available to hail through the Lyft app.

>The service is comprised of Motional’s fleet of Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicles, which will be fully autonomous at the time of launch and not require a human safety driver behind the wheel.

My prediction was that there would be fleets of robo-taxis in the US, not later than 2025. A lot of people don't agree with me, but it is what it is.
