The car is equipped with 33 sensors, which assist in autonomous driving by reading the movements and facial expressions of the driver as well as the situation of roads and buildings.

At this point, we have no plans to sell cars to the public, but we plan to start driving tests on public roads in Japan, the United States, and Europe during the current fiscal year to further improve the performance of sensor technology.
