Background

Japan’s working-age population (aged 20–64) is expected to fall 22% from 70 million in 2020 to 55 million in 2040. Also, due to the declining population, nearly 30% of municipalities are expected to have over 50% of their population aged 65 or older by 2045. *1
Even today, the transportation, construction, and manufacturing industries are struggling with the constant state of labor shortages.
This underlines the urgent need for the rapid development and commercialization of autonomous driving technology for not only passenger vehicles but also vehicles destined for non-public roads such as industrial sites.
