Turing Conducts a Delivery Ceremony for “THE FIRST TURING CAR,” Equipped with Proprietary Autonomous Driving Features

Turing Inc. (Kashiwa City, Chiba; CEO: Issei Yamamoto; hereinafter “Turing”), a company committed to the development and sales of fully autonomous electric vehicles, held a delivery ceremony for “THE FIRST TURING CAR,” which incorporates the company’s emblem and proprietary AI autonomous driving system. This single vehicle was made available for sale on January 20, 2023.

“THE FIRST TURING CAR,” which uses a Lexus RX450h as its base, includes Turing’s original emblem and in-house developed AI autonomous driving system and marks the company’s first product offered to end users. The car attracted numerous inquiries upon its release, and today a delivery ceremony was held for the customer.

Comment from Mr. K, the purchaser

“The most impressive aspect of ‘THE FIRST TURING CAR’ was the feeling that the AI acts as a co-pilot,” said Mr. K. “I was inspired by Turing’s vision to develop ‘intelligent AI’ to achieve true autonomy, rather than just ‘good eyes.’ The enthusiasm of a team working on the ambitious goal of ‘We Overtake Tesla’ convinced me to support the company.”
