TOKYO, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TIER IV, the pioneering force behind open-source software for autonomous driving, has added two new models to its MP camera series optimized for commercial-scale Level 4 autonomy. The C1-120MP and C2-120MP feature a 120-degree wide-angle lens designed specifically for peripheral sensing. Sales commence on September 30, 2026.

First launched in May 2026, the MP camera series is an automotive-grade lineup engineered for advanced autonomous driving systems. The range combines proprietary image optimization with flexible camera control, supporting scalable autonomous deployment across public transit, logistics, construction, and agricultural sectors.

The new 120-degree field-of-view models reduce perimeter blind spots and provide broad situational awareness. Pairing these wide-angle cameras for close-range coverage with narrow-angle cameras for long-range detection offers greater flexibility in system design, minimizing the total camera count without compromising the comprehensive coverage essential for safe autonomous driving. This approach allows for leaner sensor configurations that improve overall system performance by optimizing data processing and reducing power consumption.

Designed for compatibility with Autoware, open-source autonomous driving software, TIER IV's automotive-grade cameras help reduce autonomous driving system development time and costs. TIER IV will continue expanding the MP camera series to accommodate diverse configurations and operational environments, accelerating the deployment and enhancing the safety of Level 4 autonomous driving.
