Overview
Turing Inc. is a Tokyo-based deep-tech startup developing fully autonomous driving systems using end-to-end AI and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models. Founded in 2021 by Issei Yamamoto, the company builds the Heron multimodal AI foundation model and DriveHeron VLA model for real-time autonomous vehicle control. Turing has partnerships with Subaru and Denso, and aims to commercialize its self-driving software in consumer cars and robotaxis by 2028, targeting a U.S. IPO around 2031.
