NTT is a leading global technology and telecommunications company providing services to consumers and businesses as a mobile operator and infrastructure, networks, applications, and consulting provider, all supported by its deep global industry expertise. By partnering with May Mobility, NTT has expanded its product offering into the autonomous vehicle space with plans to launch autonomous vehicle services across Japan.
Did you know that roughly one-third of Japan’s population is aged 65 and older? An increasingly large senior population has led to more retirees and more people needing transportation assistance. Autonomous vehicle deployments provide a solution to local transportation operators facing hiring challenges and can directly help the elderly and others have a reliable option to get around town.
NTT and May Mobility plan to improve individual lives and transportation businesses with autonomous vehicle technology.
By combining May’s technology with NTT’s infrastructure, our two companies are poised to transform mobility in Japan.
May Mobility turns to the experts to design and manufacture its vehicles and uses the Toyota Sienna Autono-MaaS. Toyota is widely recognized and trusted across the world, especially in its home country of Japan.
May Mobility has deployed in more locations than any other autonomous vehicle company and has done so across a diverse set of climates and population densities. Additionally, May Mobility was the third company to launch Driver-Out operations.
AVs are real—and they work. We're excited to showcase the benefits of May Mobility’s autonomous driving technology and will soon give NTT’s current and future clients the experience of riding in an AV themselves.
AVs could reduce vehicle accidents because they're more aware of their surroundings and drive very cautiously. As Japan’s cities and people turn to autonomous vehicles as a main source of transportation, the result will be greater road safety.
In some areas of Japan, buses are not profitable. They carry 2-4 passengers at a time, a few times per day. May Mobility’s autonomous vehicles provide the transportation industry with a more cost-effective means of helping people where ridership is low, allowing them to use that money saved where it matters most.
