On August [XXX], 2026, at approximately 2:00 PM PT, a Motional Ioniq 5 Robotaxi (VIN [XXX]) was operating in autonomous mode in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a Vehicle Operator in the driver’s seat. The Motional vehicle was traveling eastbound on [XXX], between [XXX] and [XXX]. The vehicle traveling directly ahead of the Motional vehicle decelerated rapidly. In an abundance of caution, the Vehicle Operator disengaged the autonomous system and applied the brakes in manual mode to avoid a collision with the vehicle ahead.

Following the collision, the Vehicle Operator reported minor injuries and was evaluated by medical personnel, who cleared the Vehicle Operator to return to work that day. No airbags deployed. The Motional vehicle sustained damage to its rear but remained drivable and was not towed from the scene. A collision report was filed with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
