Nissan's Autonomous Vehicle Pilot Launches in Yokohama
Nissan is set to launch an autonomous vehicle pilot project in Yokohama, Japan, from November 2025. The project aims to gather data for the development of a fully driverless Level 4 commercial mobility service. Five Nissan Serena people movers, equipped with copilot AI for autonomy, will be trialed under SAE Level 2 supervision with safety drivers, remotely monitored from a new control hub.
The trial will run from November 2025 to January 2026, with five autonomous Serenas, each with a copilot, shuttling passengers between 26 boarding points across popular districts in Yokohama. Each vehicle can carry up to three passengers and will operate Tuesday to Friday, during morning and afternoon hours.
Currently, details about who will control the remote operation of the vehicles are not specified. However, the data collected from this pilot will guide the development towards a fully driverless mobility service.
Nissan's autonomous vehicle pilot project in Yokohama is a significant step towards a future of driverless mobility. The trial will provide valuable insights to refine and improve the copilot AI technology, moving closer to a fully driverless Level 4 commercial service.
