Autonomous driving tech company May Mobility is set to conduct its second wave of driverless operations in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The company stated this is their next step towards expanding autonomous driver-out vehicle services commercially across the U.S. and Japan.
CEO and co-founder of May Mobility, Edwin Olson, said:
“Starting driver-out operations in our second city in under a year shows the scalability of our technology while expanding our capabilities to challenging weather, higher speeds and busy traffic.”
The trial involves complexity of traffic, weather patterns and pedestrian density, and operates in and around approximately 2 square miles of Ann Arbor surface streets.
May Mobility’s vehicles are equipped with Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that leverages in-situ AI to interpret data in real-time, complex and even unpredictable driving conditions to help create a safer, more comfortable ride.
In doing so, MPDM solves the industry’s biggest challenge, adapting to unexpected, dynamic conditions or “edge cases”.
Without a safety operator behind the wheel, May Mobility has implemented a Tele-Assist platform for monitoring of vehicle behaviour and to provide vehicle assistance as needed.
May Mobility is currently working with Peachtree Corners, GA to bring driverless operations to the smart city in 2025 and also recently announced its partnership with Lyft, including plans to transition future deployments to driver-out over time.
