Key Technology:

At the heart of May Mobility’s innovation is its proprietary Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) system. This advanced AI-driven technology enables vehicles to perform real-time, on-board simulations every 200 milliseconds, allowing them to learn and adapt to new situations dynamically, akin to human drivers. MPDM enhances the vehicles’ ability to handle unexpected scenarios, ensuring safer and more reliable autonomous operations. ?

Recent Developments:

Expansion into High-Capacity Autonomous Vehicles: In January 2025, May Mobility announced a collaboration with Tecnobus to develop an all-electric, autonomous minibus capable of seating up to 30 passengers. This vehicle is designed with wheelchair accessibility and features swappable batteries to maximize operational uptime. The initiative aims to address urban congestion and enhance public transit options, with deployments expected in the U.S., Canada, and Europe by mid-2026. ?

Driverless Services in Peachtree Corners, Georgia: As of February 2025, May Mobility began offering autonomous driverless rides in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. This deployment underscores the company’s commitment to providing safe and efficient autonomous transportation solutions in diverse communities. ?
