#wowwednesday*No retrofitting requiredMotional2026-09-15 | Straight from Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore (HMGICS) to Motional’s Las Vegas Technical Center! Arriving fully assembled from the production line, all the IONIQ 5 robotaxis need is Motional decals. Before getting shipped our way, HMGICS employees perform critical diagnostics, calibration, and validation tasks to ensure the IONIQ 5 robotaxi meet exacting specifications and are ready for autonomous operation. 🚕 ✅Autonomous Driving Long Tail Scenario: Hand Signal Recognition | nuReasoningMotional2026-09-15 | Motional is introducing the nuReasoning dataset, the world’s first and largest reasoning-centric, long-tail scenario-based open dataset for autonomous driving development.
Each long-tail event includes video clips of at least 20 seconds paired with high-quality and human verified reasoning annotations. These annotations provide:
- Detailed description of the encountered scene - Breakdown of the critical components that have the highest influence for decision making and the appropriate decision - Reasoning behind decision
These annotations are key to taking developers beyond just perception and recognition and towards the kind of reasoning critical for truly effective end-to-end model development.
