Guident is set to introduce MiCa, its autonomous shuttle service, to the City of Boca Raton in a new partnership with Circuit Transit, adding another deployment to its portfolio.
The new loop will connect residents and visitors within Mizner Park when it launches on Friday, 21 November.
The news comes as the company prepares for its NASDAQ listing. Guident has recently filed an updated S-1 form with the SEC, signalling a price range of $7.80 – $9.80.
The US government shutdown has caused a backlog of administration at the SEC so Guident is likely in a line of companies waiting to push forward with their IPO.
Guident’s RMCC platform powers service
The MiCa shuttle deployment in Boca Raton will operate using Guident’s Remote Monitor and Control Centre (RMCC) platform, which provides real-time vehicle oversight, predictive incident prevention, and encrypted data security.
“This launch marks a defining moment for Boca Raton and for the future of driverless mobility. The MiCa is managed by Guident’s RMCC platform, which bridges technology and human judgment, ensuring that every autonomous journey is monitored, secure, and safe,” said Harald Braun, Chairman and CEO of Guident.
Key features include fleet analytics, route optimisation, and vehicle health monitoring, giving operators and municipalities enhanced tools for safer and more efficient mobility management.
Expansion plans
Following the MiCa launch, Guident will work with the City of Boca Raton and Circuit to explore options for enhanced the capabilities of the network within the city.
“MiCa builds on Circuit’s transportation services in Boca Raton. Partnering with Guident to introduce an autonomous service in Boca is about continuing to innovate while giving the community a safe, seamless way to get where they need to go,” said Alex Esposito, CEO and Co-Founder of Circuit.
Circuit currently operates all-electric, on-demand micro transit services in more than 50 US markets, having delivered millions of rides connecting people to employment, shopping, healthcare, and local destinations. The company partners with cities, local governments, and private properties to reduce congestion, cut emissions, and support local economies.
Boca Raton, the second-largest city in the Palm Beaches, is home to more than 30 corporate headquarters and three nationally ranked universities, making it a hub for business, education, and research.
