  "summary": "May Mobility, a self-driving technology company, plans to go public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) affiliated with Atlas Credit Partners. The deal is set to value the company at $1.4 billion and raise up to $337 million in gross proceeds, according to Axios.\n\nOnce the merger is complete, May Mobility will become a publicly traded company focused entirely on autonomous ride-hailing vehicles. This will differentiate it from other public companies working on autonomy, such as Tesla and Waymo, which is owned by Alphabet.\n\nMay Mobility's business approach is described as \"asset-light\" and \"partnership-first.\" The company sells its autonomous vehicles to fleet partners over time while maintaining control of remote supervision and software updates. In exchange, May Mobility receives fixed fees or per-trip licensing fees. The company currently operates autonomous Toyota Siennas in three US locations and has partnerships with Lyft in Atlanta and offers rides in two Minnesota cities.",
