Reference excerpt

GO株式会社 Inc. (English: GO Inc.) is a Japanese ride-hailing and taxi company headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, that provides the "GO" app and engages in taxi-related business. It also holds licenses for travel and employment agencies. Its largest shareholders are Nihon Kotsu and DeNA. The company was previously known as JapanTaxi Co., Ltd., and Mobility Technologies Co., Ltd., and it rebranded itself on 1 April 2023 to match the name of its flagship app.

Overview GO Inc. operates within the travel and vehicle-for-hire industry throughout Japan, including taxi services, with a focus on the ride-hailing app "GO". It was established in 1977 as a subsidiary of Nihon Kotsu's computer systems branch (Nihon Kotsu Calculation Center Co., Ltd., and from 1992, Nihon Kotsu Data Services Co., Ltd.) In 2010, the company began developing and providing taxi dispatch apps such as "National Taxi Dispatch" for operators throughout Japan. As competition in the app market grew, the company changed its name to JapanTaxi Co., Ltd., in 2015, and the app became "JapanTaxi" in 2018. The current structure was established in 2020, when JapanTaxi merged with DeNA's MOV division, which provided the taxi dispatch app "MOV", and changed its name to Mobility Technologies Co., Ltd. It began developing its own dispatch app based on "MOV" and named it "GO" within the same year. On 1 April 2023, the company became GO Inc. On 24 November 2023, GO Inc. moved its headquarters to Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Go (Japanese company)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Go (Japanese company) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Go (Japanese company) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Go (Japanese company) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Go (Japanese company)

In research: Go (Japanese company) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Go (Japanese company) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Go (Japanese company) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1977 establishments in Japan, Android (operating system) software, DeNA, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Go (Japanese company) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
