Japan’s capital, Tokyo, aims to introduce self-driving vehicles by 2020.

The Japanese government is currently in the process of introducing autonomous vehicles in the country before the next Summer Olympic Games in 2020 which will be held in Tokyo.

According to the Nikkei Asian Review, Tokyo-based Dynamic Map Planning is developing high definition and three-dimensional maps for self-driving cars in order to develop the project.

The map will enable the vehicles to drive smoothly, relaying critical information such as traffic lights, sharp turns, slopes in roads and road construction works.

Sensors will also be installed on autonomous vehicles so that they stay in lanes and are able to detect other vehicles.

Mitsubishi Electric; Zenrin, a Japan-based navigation technology company; and nine automakers, including Toyota, jointly established the new venture.
