Tier IV's business model is important in this regard. The company has open-sourced its autonomous driving software, Autoware, so that it can be freely downloaded and used by companies and research institutions.
By involving engineers and researchers from all over the world, Tier IV hopes to rapidly advance autonomous driving technology while keeping development costs down.
