Aptiv has announced that more than 50,000 rides have been made on its commercial robo-taxis that are accessible via the Lyft app for users in Las Vegas. Aptiv says curated reviews of the driverless vehicle service have averaged a “star rating” of 4.97 out of five stars. The company also said 92% of riders reported being “very safe” or “extremely safe” during their rides.
This milestone comes after a year of operation of Aptiv’s robo-taxi service via a partnership with Lyft. In the city of Las Vegas, Lyft users can ride Aptiv’s driverless vehicles to and fro select locations that span 2,100 hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues and popular destinations.

Aptiv’s robo-taxi fleet relies on a centralized network, which makes management of passenger demand and vehicle routing easier. The company said this has resulted in lesser number of vehicles transporting more people, with lessened wait times for riders.
