"We think it would be enough for us to commercialize our own areas in about three locations. By making this a reference model, we want to make it easy for partner companies to deploy their services." Tier IV's strategy emphasizes creating a digestible model for others to follow, facilitating faster adoption of self-driving technologies within urban settings starting from specific areas.
"Japan's aging population has resulted in a serious shortage of taxi and bus drivers. Given this situation, regulators have raised the possibility that self-driving taxis will no longer need approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism if they operate jointly with existing taxi companies." This scenario presents a significant opportunity for Tier IV to capitalize on the need for autonomous taxis in a changing demographic landscape.
