Tier IV Joins JST Program for Open-Source AI Chip Designs
Tier IV, a developer of open-source software for autonomous driving, has joined a research program led by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). The initiative aims to develop and open-source AI chip designs for autonomous driving.
Tier IV, known for its work in open-source software for autonomous driving, has become part of the Next-Generation Edge AI Semiconductor Research and Development Program. This program is led by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).
The primary objective of this collaboration is to advance the development of open-source solutions for AI chip design specifically tailored for autonomous driving applications. The program seeks to accelerate the adoption and progress of AI technologies within the automotive sector.
Through its participation, Tier IV will contribute its expertise to the creation of new, openly available AI chip architectures. The JST-led program brings together key industry players to foster collaboration and drive innovation in the field of edge AI semiconductors.
This initiative is expected to yield novel design blueprints that will be publicly accessible, potentially speeding up the development cycle for new autonomous vehicles and reducing R&D costs for participating companies.
