TIER IV Open-Sources Five End-to-End Autonomous-Driving AI Models for Autoware

TIER IV announced on November 11, 2026, the development and open-source availability of five end-to-end autonomous-driving AI models for Autoware. The models span camera-only systems and configurations that add LiDAR, radar and high-definition maps. The announcement was reported by Unite.AI.

The five models

The lineup comprises:

• NVIDIA Alpamayo 2 Edge
• AutoE2E
• METEOR
• OnePlanner
• LatentDrive

According to the announcement, the lineup gives automakers and technology partners several options for optimizing models and integrating them into vehicle systems. The models use end-to-end designs, which connect perception inputs to driving output within a single model rather than separate modules.

Sensor configurations

The five models cover a range of sensor setups. Some operate with cameras alone. Others add LiDAR, radar and high-definition maps.

What this means

The release gives Autoware users five end-to-end models with different sensor requirements. Automakers and technology partners can choose among camera-only and multi-sensor configurations when optimizing and integrating a model into a vehicle system, which is the use TIER IV describes for the lineup.
