U.S.-based autonomous vehicle technology company May Mobility has unveiled its Ride-Hail Integration API, a strategic addition to its Autonomy-as-a-Service (AaaS) platform. The new interface enables seamless communication between May Mobility’s driverless fleets and major ride-hail applications, setting the stage for broader commercial deployments globally.
The API is designed to enhance interoperability with ride-hail platforms, optimizing pick-up and drop-off coordination while improving safety and user convenience. “Our riders will experience optimized pick-up and drop-off times and a smoother ride from beginning to end,” said Jacob Crossman, senior vice president of autonomy engineering at May Mobility.
The technology supports both left-hand and right-hand driving environments, enabling expansion beyond current operations in the U.S. and Japan. This positions the company for international growth as it prepares for upcoming pilot launches with Lyft in Atlanta and Uber in Arlington, Texas later this year.
Additionally, May Mobility announced improvements to its patented Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) system. The AI-powered framework processes sensor data every 200 milliseconds to navigate complex urban scenarios such as narrow streets, double-parked vehicles, and abrupt pedestrian movement. The system aims to enhance passenger comfort with smoother acceleration and braking.
The company has completed nearly 500,000 autonomous rides across 19 global deployments and is one of just three U.S. firms authorized to provide commercial driverless services on public roads. Its partnerships with Toyota Motor Corporation and telecom giant NTT support its broader goals of scaling AV adoption through robust, globally compatible technologies.
