TIER IV Joins Japanese Government Initiative for Autonomous Driving Standards

TIER IV has been selected for a Japanese government project to develop autonomous driving standards and an open dataset, focusing on Level 4+ autonomy.

TIER IV has been selected for a major Japanese government project aimed at advancing autonomous driving standards and creating an open dataset, announced in a press release. This initiative focuses on expanding autonomous driving services to address local mobility challenges in Japan.

Under this project, TIER IV will collaborate with consortium members, including automotive manufacturers, to develop industry-leading standards for Level 4+ autonomous driving. The consortium will also explore global market opportunities, particularly in regions with similar mobility and urban development challenges.

A key component of the project is the development of an open dataset by integrating real-world data with data generated by AI. This dataset will facilitate the creation of simulation environments that replicate diverse traffic scenarios, essential for evaluating the safety and performance of autonomous systems.

In April 2025, TIER IV launched a collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University to develop a hybrid architecture combining data-centric AI approaches with robotics best practices. This collaboration aims to advance Level 4+ autonomy and contribute to the project's goals of transparency and traceability in AI decision-making processes.
