Corktown Carshare

With Corktown Carshare, Sway Mobility and Mapless AI are introducing a teleoperated electric vehicle (EV) carsharing program in the Detroit Transportation Innovation Zone. Corktown Carshare’s EV fleet is outfitted with Mapless AI’s unique safety-first technology that allows remote drivers to dispatch vehicles to where the demand is. This offers Detroit residents an affordable alternative to car ownership while showcasing how teleoperated EV fleets can transform urban transportation.

The pilot—a first-of-its-kind program in Detroit supported by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), the Detroit Transportation Innovation Zone (TIZ), and NextEnergy— aims to serve the Corktown community, demonstrate the benefits of teleoperated EV carsharing, and provide data-driven insights that will inform the future deployment of similar programs in cities across the U.S.
