Turing Signs Contract with Japan’s Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) for E2E Autonomous Driving Verification Demonstrating the Versatility and Reliability of End-to-End Autonomous Driving AI in Off-Road Environments
Turing Inc. (Headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo; CEO: Issei Yamamoto; hereinafter “Turing”) is pleased to announce that they have signed a service contract with the Ground Systems Research Center of the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) to verify its End-to-End (E2E) autonomous driving technology.
Verification Overview
As part of the contract, Turing will collect baseline data in unpaved road environments and evaluate inference results generated by its E2E model under off-road conditions. The model’s output will control the vehicle and will evaluate the model’s behavior across a variety of terrain and surface types.
Going forward, Turing will continue to develop E2E autonomous driving systems for passenger vehicles with partners in the industrial and public sectors. These initiatives will allow Turing to contribute to safe, reliable mobility and ultimately achieve fully autonomous driving.
