Tier IV Launches MP Series of Mass Production In-Vehicle Cameras Optimized for Level 4 Autonomous Driving

Tier IV, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director, Executive Officer, CEO: Shinpei Kato), which advocates the vision of democratizing autonomous driving, has started providing the MP series of in-vehicle cameras adapted for the mass production phase of autonomous driving systems. This series is an optimized model that ensures automotive quality and supply stability for mass production vehicles, based on 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.

Key features of this series are as follows:

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

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

Mass productivity of automotive-grade cameras: Manufactured and quality-controlled by partner companies with an automotive track record, ensuring stable supply of cameras.

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

C1 Camera C1-195 MP

C2 Camera C2-030 MP

C2 Camera C2-062 MP

Tier IV will collaborate with new partners such as ADLINK, Connect Tech, Neousys, and EUREKA, which develops solutions for construction machinery, to expand in-vehicle cameras to a wide range of fields such as 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.
