WCBU Staff

Morton's AutonomouStuff came to this year's first major expo armed with a pair of big announcements.

AutonomouStuff made the announcements at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020 in Las Vegas. The self-driving vehicle software developer is expanding to Canada. The company is starting a research facility in Ottawa. The facility is wired with telecommunications and networking equipment, as well as private and public testing tracks.

AutonomouStuff also announced a strategic partnership with Tier IV, a Japanese company leading development of open-source autonomous vehicle software called Autoware.

AutonomouStuff will market the software in North America, Europe, Australia, and China. The company will also manage the marketing for the global mining, agriculture and government sectors. Tier IV will lead in Japan and the rest of Asia and lead software development and validation.
