Deloitte and May Mobility Join Forces to Enhance Global Autonomous Transportation Safety and Efficiency
Strategic Alliance for Autonomous Mobility
Deloitte and May Mobility have announced a groundbreaking partnership aimed at enhancing autonomous transportation services on a global scale. This collaboration is set to leverage May Mobility's robust sensor data in conjunction with Deloitte's advanced analytics to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of autonomous vehicles (AVs).
Prioritizing Safety in Autonomous Transportation
According to Deloitte's 2025 Global Automotive Consumer Study, safety remains the top priority for consumers engaging with autonomous transportation solutions. The new alliance will focus on developing insights derived from May Mobility's operational data, thus enabling government and business clients to enhance safety outcomes for users of their services. One of the standout offerings is Deloitte's autonomous vehicle data platform, which will allow transportation planners to subscribe for crucial data insights, optimizing their initiatives effectively.
In a pilot project initiated in 2024, both companies began rolling out their insights services as part of the Accessibili-D program in Detroit. This initiative specifically serves older adults and individuals with disabilities, facilitating their access to essential services such as healthcare and grocery shopping. By utilizing the synergistic data and insights from the collaboration, cities and businesses will be able to better plan and optimize their AV frameworks.
Empowering Communities with Autonomous Solutions
Jeff Hood, principal at Deloitte Consulting, stated, "Our collaboration with May Mobility is driven by a common goal: to foster a safer environment for autonomous mobility through in-depth analysis of vehicle behavior and interactions within the community." This partnership aspires to fulfill the long-standing promises of the AV industry, namely to improve accessibility to affordable, sustainable, and secure transportation.
The collaboration’s capabilities extend internationally by integrating Deloitte’s expertise in data engineering and artificial intelligence into the existing frameworks of May Mobility's AV systems, whilst simultaneously incorporating local infrastructure and environmental data.
According to Manik Dhar, Chief Commercial Officer of May Mobility, their patented Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology swiftly evaluates numerous potential scenarios, enabling vehicles to make informed decisions in real-time to ensure safety. By harmonizing this model with Deloitte's insights platform, a more tailored and responsive mobility solution can be crafted, optimally suited to the specific needs of different communities.
Future Prospects
As cities worldwide look to modernize and improve transportation systems, the collaboration between Deloitte and May Mobility heralds a new era of urban mobility solutions that prioritize not just efficiency but also equity. With past performance exceeding 350,000 autonomy-enabled rides in the U.S. and Japan, May Mobility’s trajectory is promising.
This partnership is not just about improving transportation; it's about enhancing the quality of life in urban environments. By ensuring equitable access to autonomous vehicles, both companies aim to contribute to a more inclusive and efficient society.
