Seminar Overview

The seminar titled "Latest Technologies and Business Models of Robotic Taxis" will be held on November 20, 2025, from 2 PM to 4 PM (JST), hosted by Tatsu Nagai, representative of Go2Marketing and organizer of the VSI AV Portal. The event will be conducted via Zoom webinar, offering participants the option to view live or access the recording within two weeks post-seminar.

Key Topics Covered

This engaging session will delve into the evolving landscape of robotic taxis, focusing on three significant areas involving global industry leaders. We'll explore the advancements in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), particularly Level 2 automation and the progression towards Level 3, which enables hands-free driving on highways. In contrast, companies like Waymo are pioneering Level 4 automation, which actively controls the vehicle, providing a new form of transportation known as "Robotic Taxis".

Insights and Analysis

The seminar aims to illustrate how various companies, despite seeming similarities in their technological efforts, actually differ in their technological approaches and intended business models in the realm of robotic taxis. Participants will gain insights into:

• - Autonomous Robotic Taxis: The latest news and developments from major players such as Waymo, Zoox, and Motional in the USA, Baidu’s ApolloGo, WeRide, and PonyAI in China, alongside global movements outside these regions.
• - Supervised Robotic Taxis: Developments in supervised operations like Tesla’s project to launch services in Austin, Texas, and updates on litigation and FSD regulations.
• - Remote-Operated Robotic Taxis: Current advancements from various providers like MayMobility and Fusion Processing, exploring the advantages and challenges of remote operation.

Regulatory Developments

An essential aspect of the seminar will address the ongoing development of regulations surrounding automation technologies. With new frameworks being discussed at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), there are dynamic shifts expected in certification standards by June 2024. Attendees will learn about regulatory landscapes in major automotive markets, including the U.S., Europe, and China, and the critical role that AI technology plays in enhancing these systems.
