Ever wish you could hire a robo-vehicle to drive you to work or pick your kids up from their activities? That dream could be a reality â€“ and soon.

This week, Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. and DeNA Company, Ltd. unveiled their new robo-vehicle mobility service dubbed Easy Ride. The two companies began developing the innovative autonomous driving technology in January 2017 and have plans for public field testing in March 2018 in Japanâ€™s Minatomirai district of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The idea behind the technology is simple: to bring more freedom of mobility to anyone that wants to travel freely to their destination by way of a robo-vehicle. The aim is to provide customers with a mobile app where they can set-up destinations, summon vehicles and pay fares.
