eve autonomy has established eve auto as an active commercial service, unlike many autonomous driving projects that remain in the testing phase. Since 2022, when the company became the first in Japan to mass-produce Level 4 autonomous vehicles, its service has grown to around 100 vehicles running driverless every day at about 70 customer sites across Japan, day and night, rain or shine.

As a joint venture between Yamaha Motor and TIER IV, the company behind the open-source autonomous driving software “Autoware,” they combine the stability of established industry leaders with the speed and ownership of a startup. Their teams are small, so every engineer’s work has a direct impact on a product used in the real world.

eve autonomy has two offices: its headquarters in Iwata, Shizuoka, where vehicle testing and operations take place, and its Tokyo office in Haneda. Their Tokyo-based engineering team develops their next-generation software platform and is made up mostly of international members, with English as the main working language.
