    「Launch of a new autonomous-driving company」

    The autonomous-driving initiative progressed to the launch of a wholly owned subsidiary inheriting the mobi business and commercialization of on-demand transportation and operations-management services.
  3. FY2025AdvancedAnnual report

    「In June 2024, we became the first in Japan to successfully demonstrate coordinated delivery linking mobility systems with different location-data definitions, including autonomous delivery robots, autonomous vehicles and drones, together with Aisan Technology Co., Ltd. and Tier IV, Inc.」

    Autonomous driving research advanced from remote driving support for a single vehicle to Japan's first coordinated delivery demonstration linking autonomous delivery robots, autonomous vehicles and drones.
  4. FY2023AdvancedAnnual report

    「In March 2023, together with Aisan Technology, we conducted a demonstration project in the mountainous areas of Shiojiri, Nagano Prefecture, in which drones took off from and landed on autonomous vehicles to provide last-mile logistics. We were the first in Japan to successfully have drones take off and land in coordination with the changing positions of moving autonomous vehicles.」

    In a demonstration of last-mile logistics combining autonomous driving and drones, we successfully achieved Japan's first drone takeoff and landing from a moving vehicle.
  5. FY2022AdvancedAnnual report

    「From February to March 2022, together with Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, and Nagoya University of the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, we conducted a demonstration project for autonomous driving and MaaS combining passenger transport and goods delivery in the same vehicle. The project aimed to revitalize the Takura New Town area of Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture, through new mobility services.」

    Autonomous driving research expanded from remote driving support using 5G to regional demonstrations of autonomous driving and MaaS combining passenger and goods transport.
  6. FY2021AdvancedAnnual report

    「In March 2021, we began joint verification with partner companies of the use of 5G for autonomous driving, with the aim of achieving a safe and secure mobility society free from traffic accidents and congestion. Using a 5G communications environment built on a test track for autonomous driving and a low-latency edge computing environment provided by AWS Wavelength, we will verify the effectiveness of a system that delivers constantly changing road conditions to autonomous vehicles in real time and supports the operation of driverless vehicles remotely.」

    Autonomous driving research advanced from public-road and regional demonstrations to joint verification of real-time road information delivery and remote driving support using 5G and AWS Wavelength.
  7. FY2020AdvancedAnnual report

    「From June to July 2019, we participated in a demonstration project for autonomous driving services based at roadside stations and other facilities in the mountainous areas of Hitachiota, Ibaraki Prefecture. We provided the remote vehicle operations monitoring system required for Level 4 autonomous driving without a driver on board.」

    Following the successful Level 4 demonstration on public roads, the project advanced to an autonomous driving service demonstration in mountainous areas using a remote vehicle operations monitoring system.
  8. FY2018First statedAnnual report

    「In December 2017, we conducted Japan's first demonstration of a remotely controlled autonomous driving system on public roads and successfully achieved Level 4 (driverless) autonomous driving.」

    We combined deep-learning technology for "give-and-take" interactions with other vehicles with high-precision maps and remote control, successfully demonstrating Level 4 autonomous driving on public roads.
