TIER IV is leading the development of Autoware 2.0, an open-source autonomous-driving platform, and will work with AWF to accelerate its adoption. The company announced initiatives to build an ecosystem aimed at commercialisation while incorporating a data-centric AI approach.
TIER IV announced that it will promote the adoption of the open-source autonomous-driving ecosystem by leading the development of Autoware 2.0 and working with The Autoware Foundation and the global open-source community. Autoware 2.0 is designed to combine conventional rule-based approaches with data-centric AI approaches.
Autoware 2.0 offers scalability for a wide range of combinations of AI and rule-based approaches, a flexible indexing mechanism that facilitates module integration, and a framework of reusable reference designs applicable to various vehicles, use cases and operating environments.
TIER IV is promoting the commercialisation of Autoware 2.0 through collaborations with companies including Arm, AWS and Red Hat. These initiatives include using Arm's Total Design for Physical AI, building a cloud-native environment and promoting system integration centred on AutoSD.
A presentation is scheduled for ASSC US 2026. Christian John, President of TIER IV's North American subsidiary, will speak about the company's vision for the adoption and commercialisation of Autoware 2.0.
