Tier IV Begins Offering Mass-Production In-Vehicle Camera MP Series Optimized for Level 4 Autonomous Driving

Tier IV, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, Executive Officer, CEO: Shinpei Kato), which advocates the democratization of autonomous driving, is commencing the provision of its MP series of in-vehicle cameras, adapted for the mass production phase of autonomous driving systems. This series is an optimized model designed to ensure automotive-grade quality and supply stability for mass-produced vehicles, building upon the reliability of existing models that use high-quality cameras with difficult-to-obtain automotive components and their compatibility with "Autoware," open-source software for autonomous driving.

The main features of this series are as follows:

Specifications optimized for Level 4 autonomous driving: In addition to image quality adjustments specialized for autonomous driving, it implements flexible camera control and unique image quality tuning functions.

Compatibility with "Autoware": Designed for smooth integration with "Autoware," contributing to a significant reduction in adaptation man-hours for system construction.

Mass productivity of automotive-grade cameras: Manufacturing and quality are managed by partner companies with a proven track record in automotive applications, ensuring a stable supply of cameras.

The target cameras in this series are as follows. We plan to sequentially expand the range of target cameras in the future:

C1 Camera C1-195 MP

C2 Camera C2-030 MP

C2 Camera C2-062 MP

Tier IV will collaborate with existing partners such as ADLINK, Connect Tech, and Neousys, as well as new partners like EUREKA, which develops solutions for construction machinery, to expand in-vehicle cameras into a wide range of fields including buses, taxis, trucks, construction machinery, and agricultural machinery. This will contribute to accelerating the development and introduction of image recognition and remote monitoring systems in public transportation, logistics, and specific applications.
