TIER IV publishes an open autonomous-racing reference stackThe reference design was used by 240 teams and approximately 600 participants in the 2026 Autonomous Driving AI Challenge. Developers can use the common platform to test algorithms from simulation through real vehicles.→TIER IV joins OIN 2.0 to reduce patent risk for autonomous-driving softwareTIER IV said OIN 2.0 participation will reduce patent risk for automakers, suppliers and semiconductor companies building on Autoware and related open-source software. The move extends open-source governance beyond code licensing into patent protection for vehicle compute and autonomy ecosystems.→TIER IV and Renesas pair Autoware with automotive AI compute for software-defined vehiclesTIER IV plans to optimise Autoware and its end-to-end models on R-Car Gen 5, targeting solutions from Level 2+/2++ driver assistance to Level 4 autonomy. The companies plan a demonstration on R-Car X5H at Automotive World 2026; the announcement is a collaboration roadmap rather than a production deployment.→
