TIER IV, a leader in autonomous driving technology, has launched an enhanced version of its sensor fusion development kit. This upgrade streamlines the previous dual-computer system into a single, efficient unit. It integrates advanced object recognition capabilities, leveraging automotive cameras, LiDAR, and powerful computing. The renewed kit aims to accelerate development and reduce time-to-market for autonomous driving solutions.
Key Highlights
- Single-Unit Design: Consolidates hardware into one computer, simplifying setup and boosting efficiency.
- Advanced Tech Integration: Features NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin for energy-efficient AI processing and deep learning.
- Open-Source Access: Includes software and documentation via Edge.Auto GitHub, fostering customization.
- Event Debut: Displayed at Connect Tech’s booth starting March 11, 2025, in Nuremberg.
Originally introduced in June 2023, the kit combines high-performance LiDAR, automotive cameras, and an autonomous driving computer into a unified package. The latest renewal addresses critical sensor fusion challenges—like hardware selection, system synchronization, and calibration—making it easier for developers to build sophisticated object recognition systems. By incorporating NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, the kit supports edge computing tasks such as point cloud processing, object detection, and high dynamic range imaging, all within a single device.
TIER IV’s commitment to open-source innovation shines through with this release. Developers can access and modify the kit’s software via the Edge.Auto GitHub repository, encouraging research and tailored solutions. The included guide further simplifies setup and development, empowering users to tackle complex autonomous driving projects with less effort.
The kit’s debut at the embedded world Exhibition&Conference 2025, hosted by partner Connect Tech, offers a hands-on look at its capabilities. Visitors can explore how it enhances autonomous driving applications, from sensor fusion to real-time object recognition.
