00:00Hello, I am in the Musashikosugi station of North Gate.

00:13Actually, I am blind, so could you tell me more detail for blind people?

00:22Of course, you might notice an increase in crowd noise and the sound of activities as you get closer.

00:30It is better to use earphones.

00:36This intersection is huge.

00:39Cross the intersection and then go straight.

00:49How many kilometers is it?

00:51It is around 1 km.

00:52We will show you more information after the deployment.

00:56I trust you, Google Maps.

00:59I trust you.

01:01Thank you.

01:10It was fun, to be honest.

01:12At first, I wasn't sure if I could do it.

01:23But when I actually tried it, I was so happy.

01:28It was like an explosion.

01:33Even if I ask where I am now, people ask me where I am.

01:37I think it is necessary to use some apps.

01:45If we can do this with Google Maps,

01:49we can move without the support of AI.

01:53I think we can implement it soon.

02:07Thank you.
