Turing Completes Series A Round Funding of ¥27.89 Billion

Turing Inc. (Ota Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazunari Yamamoto; hereinafter "Turing") has raised a total of ¥12.62 billion in an extension of its Series A round, comprising ¥6.82 billion in equity financing from multiple corporate and financial institutions including AMD Ventures, Mitsubishi Corporation, and MUFG Bank, and a ¥5.80 billion loan agreement with MUFG Bank.

Combined with the ¥15.27 billion from the 1st Close announced in November 2025, this marks the completion of Series A round funding totaling ¥27.89 billion.

Turing is a startup aiming to achieve fully autonomous driving. The company is developing an End-to-End (E2E) autonomous driving system that handles recognition, decision-making, and vehicle control based on information obtained from cameras. Furthermore, Turing is working on developing a physical foundation model that linguistically understands pedestrians, signs, signals, road conditions, and other elements, enabling flexible responses to complex driving scenarios. By managing the entire process from model development to vehicle implementation in-house, Turing aims for the social implementation of fully autonomous driving, where vehicles operate like humans under all conditions.

The funds raised will be used to expand computing infrastructure, strengthen the business structure for social implementation, and recruit talent to accelerate these initiatives.

Turing will continue to further strengthen both research and development and business expansion, aiming for the realization and social implementation of fully autonomous driving originating from Japan.
