"Autonomous Mobility Project in Tokyo Waterfront City for FY2024" will be implemented!
A project to establish services utilizing autonomous driving technology in Tokyo Waterfront City area will be implemented by the business operators selected in 2023.
This year, as in the previous year, we will target both metropolitan-owned land and public roads to identify issues and analyze mobility needs for the commercialization of autonomous driving mobility services, with the aim of promoting the earliest practical application of autonomous driving services. In addition, this fiscal year, in order to allow more people to experience services utilizing autonomous driving technology and to promote its social implementation, we will conduct automated driving projects on metropolitan-owned land and public roads in conjunction with SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024, which will be held mainly in Tokyo Waterfront City.
In addition, we will be accepting applications for participants to test-drive autonomous vehicles for each project.
Service of Symbol Promenade Park Route, Tokyo Waterfront City Circular Route, UMI-no-MORI Route and Autonomous Taxi Route have been finished.
Symbol Promenade Park Route (May 12(Sun.) - June 12(Wed.))
