Technology:
ZMP, a venture company developing autonomous
driving, is increasing its presence in the automotive industry quite rapidly. Because
the government laid down a policy to ease the regulations on autonomous
driving, it is highly likely that experiments on autonomous driving will be
conducted on the public road in 2017. The company has already founded Robot Tax,
which operates unattended taxies, in alliance with DeNA, to connect airports
and venues by taxi by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Under the initiative of Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe, the Japanese government is supporting companies with the
challenging spirit in their attempts to create innovations. Insurance companies
are quick to respond to the move toward the experiment of autonomous driving. MitsuiSumitomo Insurance and Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance jointly developed an
insurance product that covers damage caused in the experiment of autonomous
driving for the first time in Japan.
