Our take
As automobile companies across the globe make advancements in the booming autonomous vehicle market, May Mobility’s microtransit services bridge transportation gaps by providing safe, accessible, and free autonomous public transport.
The company currently operates low-speed (35mph) public transport AVs. It has been testing its fleet of 20 vehicles (mostly in Ann Arbor) and is set to launch S-AMs in Grand Rapids in Fall 2022 and internationally, beginning in Japan, within the next year.
The company has raised an impressive amount of capital as of late 2023, as it aims to expand its commercial efforts and technological advancement capabilities across the US, Japan and Canada and move towards profitability. Through strategic partnerships and by increasing the total number of vehicle deployments in the U.S. and Japan, May Mobility is well placed to be one of the top driverless transportation market leaders.
