Motional and Lyft have announced the second launch of their fully driverless ride-hail service as part of its multi-city partnership, featuring the Ioniq 5 AV. The Los Angeles service will also use Motional’s all-electric Ioniq 5-based robotaxis and it will be the first time that residents in Los Angeles can request an AV in the Lyft app. By integrating Motional’s Level 4 AVs on the Lyft platform, riders in Los Angeles will have access to a rideshare network with multiple modes of transportation, which will include autonomous vehicles and classic rideshare, to get riders where they need to go.
