A project at Peachtree Corners, Georgia, one of the first smart cities in the U.S., will deploy May Mobility’s autonomous vehicle solutions equipped with T-Mobile’s 5G connectivity.

The on-demand autonomous project will be the first deployment from May Mobility in the state of Georgia to provide rides to eight pre-determined stops at locations such as hotels, restaurants, retail shops, office spaces and the Innovation Center at Curiosity Lab and Peachtree Corners’ City Hall.

The May Mobility vehicles are equipped with a multi-policy decision making (MPDM) system that is used to make safe driving decisions including under uncertainty. It is powered by in-situ artificial intelligence that runs on-board simulations in real-time while driving autonomously.

The system analyzes and learns from thousands of scenarios every second and chooses the safest path when encountering an unknown situation.

The vehicle will begin service to the public the week of Oct. 7, 2024, and will take up to four passengers at a time. Users can book trips through the May Mobility app. The vehicles will begin with an attendant inside but May Mobility plans to remove the attendant for fully autonomous service later.

The vehicles are connected to T-Mobile’s 5G network, which allows users to connect to various internet platforms and apps while traveling. Additionally, inside the cabin, real-time viewing of the vehicle platform will be available to monitor safety and operations.

Smart city moves

This isn’t the first experiment into 5G at Peachtree Corners. Last year, T-Mobile started an autonomous robot project to transport goods from warehouses, retail stores or micro fulfillment centers and then deliver those goods to people around the city while using a 5G network for users.

Another project last year involved Siemens installed electric vehicle charging stations and infrastructure and using T-Mobile’s 5G network to test how the service could be used to bolster EV charging solutions.
