Hyundai and Waymo to create fully autonomous Ioniq 5 fleet

Hyundai has entered into a partnership with Waymo to develop fully autonomous versions of its Ioniq 5 that will join the technology giant's self-driving taxi fleet.

Waymo has pivoted into collaborating with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) after its parent company Google cancelled plans to develop their own cars.

In the first phase of the new partnership, Ioniq 5s integrated with Waymo One, the sixth generation of the technology giant’s autonomous driving software, will be added to Waymo’s own self-driving fleet over time.
