May Mobility Successfully Launches Driverless Service in Arizona Retirement Community, Paving the Way for Profitable Microtransit
Michigan-based autonomous vehicle operator May Mobility is preparing to go fully driverless, distinguishing itself from other AV companies by focusing on fixed-route transportation contracts with businesses and governments rather than robotaxis. May Mobility's strategy involves deploying its technology step by step in geofenced areas such as business districts, college campuses, and closed residential communities. The company's first fully driverless service will launch in Sun City, Arizona, a retirement community with favorable conditions for AV operations. May Mobility has faced challenges in the past but continues to operate in four cities, prioritizing safety and addressing municipal concerns to maintain its contracts.
