Lyft is planning to deploy a massive driverless car fleet beginning in 2023. In anticipation of that milestone the company, which has partnered with self-driving car developer Motional, announced Tuesday that it is updating its existing robotaxi service in Las Vegas with brand-new all-electric models.

The Ioniq-5 vehicles, developed by Motional atop a Hyundai platform, provide L4 autonomy and utilize a Continuous Learning Framework (CLF) designed to make the vehicles safer with every mile driven. Motional is a joint venture of Hyundai Motor Group and auto supplier Aptiv.

"We will be deploying our robotaxis in major markets through our partnerships with ride-hailing networks," Motional's former VP of Engineering & Head Autonomy, Sammy Omari, told ZDNet earlier this year. "In order to achieve wide-scale Level 4 deployments, our vehicles need to be able to recognize and safely navigate the many unpredictable and unusual road scenarios that human drivers also face."

Rideshare is an excellent candidate to become a major early adopter of self-driving cars. Labor disputes and rising wages have driven rideshare prices up, and companies are eager to find a competitive edge. Motional and Lyft have been conducting autonomous rides in Las Vegas since 2018, and by all accounts, it's been a hit. Over 100,000 Lyft riders have hailed rides in autonomous cars with over 95% leaving five-star reviews.
