On any given day, Motional robotaxis may be seen on test drives in numerous cities in the United States, as well as Asia, including Boston, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, Santa Monica, and Singapore. In addition to
locations such as San Diego where Motional vehicles have driven on the road assessing system performance. This breadth of driving settings ensures that the company’s technology is validated in a variety of environments, including diverse weather conditions, before it is made available to the public.One challenge they told us about was the city’s trolley system.
The logic that makes Motional AVs work is based on hundreds of thousands of hours testing on public roads in Boston, Pittsburgh, Singapore, and Las Vegas. If this appears to be an odd mix of cities around the world and at home, it’s because it is. Each metropolis is different, with its own set of traffic regulations, climate, and topography.
Motional’s expansion into San Diego is significant not just because it’s another city in which the company is testing, but also because California has been viewed as a linchpin in the development of autonomous vehicles. In 2012, the state became the first to pass legislation permitting AVs on its roads. And, since then, it has been a leader in the testing and deployment of these vehicles.
