nuTonomy
About
nuTonomy was a self-driving car company that grew out of MIT research by co-founders Karl Iagnemma and Emilio Frazzoli and leased space in the Innovation and Design Building in Boston’s Seaport, next to its autonomous vehicle testing zone. Its work now continues under Motional, the Boston-headquartered autonomous driving company that develops SAE Level 4 driverless vehicles for ride-hail and delivery services, aiming to make driverless technology safe, reliable and accessible.
nuTonomy was founded in 2013 and in 2016 launched the world’s first robotaxi pilot, in Singapore, before being acquired by Aptiv in 2017. In 2020 Aptiv and Hyundai Motor Group formed Motional as a $4 billion joint venture, and Hyundai is now the majority owner. Motional has completed more than 130,000 autonomous rides through early commercial pilots, and its IONIQ 5 robotaxis are available to Uber riders in Las Vegas.
