TIER IV has launched a new starter kit for developing autonomous technologies, featuring a drivable test vehicle, announced in a press release. The DTV Kit is designed to lower the barrier to entry in the autonomous driving sector by providing a ready-to-use platform for development and validation.

Developed in collaboration with Whale Dynamic, the kit is compatible with Autoware, TIER IV's open-source software for autonomous driving. It includes pre-synchronized ECU and sensors, eliminating the need for calibration, and supports efficient DevOps with Autoware and Web.Auto, TIER IV's cloud-native DevOps platform.

The kit is ideal for Autoware users seeking hands-on experience with real vehicles or validating autonomous systems in real-world environments. It offers reusable hardware and software for customized configurations and a scalable development environment. TIER IV aims to expand the Autoware ecosystem with this kit and others planned for release.
