May Mobility announced a weekday staff shuttle at Toyota Motor Kyushu's Miyata factory using e-Palettes fitted with its self-driving system. It is the first service built on the vehicle with an outside company's driving software, the model Toyota now sells.

## Key facts

- A loop with six stops around the plant for employees and guests, during business hours.
- An operator on board supervises the driving, as local safety rules require.
