Moovees Inc. (Headquarters: Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture; Representative Director and CEO: Eric Wei; hereinafter 'Moovees'), an AI robotics startup with top-level technology and a proven track record in autonomous driving in Japan and worldwide, announced today that it will collaborate with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and S.RIDE Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yohei Hashimoto; hereinafter 'S.RIDE') to host autonomous vehicle test rides and exhibit a booth at 'SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026,' one of Asia's largest global innovation conferences. From Monday, April 27, 2026, to Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Moovees will work with various stakeholders to offer test ride opportunities to general visitors.
Moovees is advancing the development of robotaxis with an eye on commercialization, based on the results of over 28 years of autonomous driving research rooted at Kanazawa University. Moovees' autonomous driving system employs sensor fusion technology combining imaging radar and LiDAR point cloud information to adapt to environmental changes such as snow, rain, and backlighting. Furthermore, through mapless autonomous driving technology that reduces reliance on HD maps, they aim to realize robotaxis that can be flexibly deployed not only in urban areas but also in regional areas and complex road environments.
This test ride event is held in collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, aiming to promote technical understanding and popularization toward the social implementation of robotaxis. In this test ride event, which will be widely open to general visitors, participants will experience autonomous driving in the Tokyo waterfront area using vehicles equipped with the 'all-weather x mapless' autonomous driving technology (Level 2*) developed by Moovees. Visitors on the public day can designate and dispatch autonomous vehicles using the S.RIDE app. By providing a seamless experience from dispatch to ride via the app, they offer a user experience close to the actual social implementation of robotaxis. Details of the test ride event will be announced at a later date on the Moovees official website.
During this period, Moovees will also exhibit a booth. At the booth, in addition to introducing the 'all-weather x mapless' autonomous driving technology developed by Moovees, they will present the results of demonstration experiments conducted in various regions. Visitors will be able to view the latest technologies aimed at the early social implementation of robotaxis and the potential of future mobility services.
* Highly functional autonomous driving under specific conditions conducted under driver supervision
