Peachtree Corners, a smart city powered by T-Mobile's 5G, has partnered with May Mobility to deploy autonomous vehicle (AV) solutions in Georgia. Starting today, May Mobility will operate autonomous Toyota Sienna Autono-MaaS vehicles along Technology Parkway, with eight pre-determined stops at popular destinations. The service will open to the public on October 7.
May Mobility's vehicles use their patented Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) system for safe driving decisions. The service will operate Monday through Friday from 8AM-4PM, accommodating up to four passengers per vehicle. Users can book trips through the May Mobility app, powered by Via. The deployment will initially have an attendant inside the vehicle, with plans for fully autonomous service in the future.

T-Mobile has implemented a new feature called georouting for customers calling the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This system routes calls to crisis centers based on the caller's approximate county-level location, rather than their area code. The change ensures callers are connected to counselors familiar with local resources and services.
T-Mobile, the first wireless provider to enable this feature nationwide, worked with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to develop the solution. Georouting does not share a caller's precise location, unlike geolocation.
This initiative follows T-Mobile's earlier efforts, including being the first major wireless provider to implement 988 calling in November 2020 and launching text capabilities for 988 in July 2022. The company aims to remove barriers to mental health assistance and ensure help is available when and where it's needed most.
