<h3><strong>A VERY FIRST IN JAPAN</strong></h3>
It was the first time in Tokyo as an Autonomous vehicle was operating on public roads

During the experimentation,<strong> AUTONOM SHUTTLE</strong> experienced a case where pedestrian jumped out in front of the vehicle. When the pedestrian was detected, the <strong>AUTONOM SHUTTLE</strong> stopped, and let him  crossed the street.

From July 18 to July 23, and for the <strong>first time in Japan</strong>, an autonomous driverless and 100% electric shuttle circulated in the <strong>Shiba Park in Tokyo</strong> which attracted <strong>more than 800 people in 5 days</strong>.
