Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., BOLDLY Inc., Premier Aid Inc., and Keikyu Corporation, today jointly announce details of an autonomous mobility service pilot program to be conducted in Yokohama. The pilot program will run from November 27, 2025 through to January 30, 2026, in urban areas of Yokohama including Minato Mirai, Sakuragi-cho and Kannai. In collaboration with the City of Yokohama, the four companies will operate a fleet of five autonomous*1 vehicles based on the Nissan Serena minivan.
A dedicated remote monitoring control center named ‘PLOT48’ will be established in the nearby Minato Mirai district. The pilot program aims to identify operational challenges and develop an ecosystem that supports the launch of commercial services starting from FY27.
In conjunction with the launch of the pilot program, recruitment of up to 300 members of the public, who can act as ‘general monitors,’ during the trial also begins today. Those that sign up as monitors will receive free transport within 26 locations along the route, in return for providing feedback that will be used to enhance operations.
