Guident Corp.’s MiCa Pictured in Downtown Boca Raton
Boca Raton, FL, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Guident Corp. (“Guident”), an autonomous vehicle (AV) teleoperation company headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, announces an agreement with the City of Boca Raton, Florida, to deploy an autonomous shuttle-based public transportation service. This shuttle will provide the City with valuable transportation services over a 2.6-mile loop from Mizner Park to Royal Palm Place. The launch of this autonomous shuttle service is scheduled for the fall of 2025 and will be conducted in collaboration with Circuit, the current operator of existing shuttle services in Boca Raton and other cities. The initial phase of the service will be limited to a 0.6-mile loop within Mizner Park, and the service is scheduled to operate for one year with options to continue beyond that time.
Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer added, “The City of Boca Raton is pleased to deploy this revolutionary urban transportation service that will showcase the city’s vision for smarter and more sustainable mobility.”
Guident and its strategic partner, Estonia-based Auve Tech, have been deploying MiCa, an SAE Level 4 fully autonomous electric shuttle, in the U.S. market. Operating a transportation service in Boca Raton complements the MiCa shuttles operating in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. MiCa has demonstrated the ability to navigate complex urban environments without human intervention, and this project will further showcase safe and reliable operation in such environments.
“Launching the MiCa transportation project in Boca Raton represents a significant step toward making autonomous public transportation a reality,” said Harald Braun, Chairman and CEO of Guident. “Our collaboration with our esteemed partners underlines a shared vision: to create a safer, more efficient, and connected urban future.”
“The growth and innovation happening in Boca right now is incredible,” said Alex Esposito, CEO and Co-Founder of Circuit. “As the operator of BocaCONNECT locally, it’s a natural and exciting next step to bring this autonomous shuttle service to life. Boca continues to lead the way in mobility, and we’re proud to be part of what’s next.”
