Japanese self-driving startup Turing Inc. is expanding its support network and computer hardware choices as it develops autonomous driving technology. Bloomberg reports that the company has added AMD Ventures as a backer, bringing additional investment support as Turing works toward a commercial launch. In parallel, Turing begins adopting Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) GPUs and other AMD AI accelerators for its AI systems, according to Bloomberg and echoed by other outlets. The Next Web describes Turing’s effort to apply its self-driving software to consumer vehicles and robotaxis, noting that Nvidia has been powering much of the industry’s development. Yahoo Finance’s report centers on the Bloomberg account that AMD Ventures is joining Turing’s backers and that the startup is using AMD chips. Japan Times similarly states that Turing—founded about five years ago—adopts AMD GPUs while increasing its capabilities, without detailing timelines or performance results. Across the reports, the common points are the new backing from AMD Ventures and the startup’s shift to AMD hardware for its self-driving AI development.
