We were able to increase the value of our micro robotic taxis by participating in the Fujitsu’s Accelerator program. During the program, Fujitsu provided us support that we needed to grow as a startup.
I believe this program is the "missing piece" to realize mutual complementation. We will need more time to realize automatic driving, but we will work together toward a world where no one is inconvenienced by transportation.
