TIER IV brings autonomous driving tech to Tokyo students at Miraikan

On September 26, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo will transform into a laboratory for the next generation of engineers. TIER IV is partnering with Tamiya, Macnica, and zero to one to host an immersive event, allowing local students to engage directly with autonomous driving systems.

The program focuses on bridging the gap between high-level AI research and classroom education. Participants will move beyond theory, using AI-equipped robots and cloud-based simulators to understand the mechanics of decision-making in autonomous vehicles. The curriculum includes training robots to navigate surroundings, operating virtual fleets via the Autoware-based simulator, and observing AI-powered radio-controlled cars in action.

This initiative serves as a practical extension of TIER IV’s ongoing work at Miraikan, where the company maintains a permanent research base to develop its open-source Autoware software. By moving these tools out of the development lab and into the hands of junior and senior high school students, organizers hope to foster a broader public dialogue on how society should integrate and regulate emerging mobility technologies. The event serves as a blueprint for the company's long-term strategy: building a global ecosystem that relies on critical thinking from future innovators, rather than just technical output from professional software engineers.
