Motional partners with Uber to provide autonomous food deliveries in California – Reuters

Dec 16 (Reuters) - Motional, the self-driving joint venture of Hyundai Motor Co (005380.KS) and Aptiv PLC (APTV.N), on Thursday said it was entering the autonomous delivery market by providing meal kits for some California Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) customers.

Motional said it would start delivering meals from select restaurants on Uber's food delivery app Eats in Santa Monica in early 2022.

The companies did not say whether the partnership would be expanded to other locations. But Motional President and Chief Executive Karl Iagnemma in a statement said the joint-venture was seeing "many long-term opportunities for further deploying Motional's technology across the Uber platform."
