May Mobility

May Mobility develops autonomous driving technology and operates autonomous ride hail and robotaxi services. The company brings self driving vehicles to ride hail platforms, cities and other mobility partners, with deployments described in places ranging from rural Minnesota to Atlanta and Japan. Its autonomous ride hail preview is available through the Lyft app in Atlanta. The core technology is Multi Policy Decision Making, or MPDM, a real time reinforcement learning algorithm. The company says it is not limited by training data collected ahead of time, because vehicles generate training examples relevant to their current environment and run on board simulations to pick the most suitable next action, learning while driving every 200 milliseconds. May Mobility presents this as a way to handle unexpected situations safely and to let providers deploy autonomous vehicles at lower cost and in less time. The customers are ride hail platforms, cities and other mobility partners that want to add autonomous service, rather than individual buyers of software. The site includes a solutions section, partner information and news. Recent news items on the site report that the company plans to go public through a SPAC merger at a valuation of $1.4 billion. May Mobility does not publish prices for its technology or services.
