Turing, the Japanese Artificial Intelligence company known for its pioneering work in full driving automation, has chosen Digital Realty’ s NRT10 data centre in Japan to support the development of its cutting-edge computation platform. Yu Yamaguchi, CTO at
Turing, tells us how the collaboration with Digital Realty has been instrumental in accelerating the deployment of powerful AI systems for self-driving technology.
Digital Realty, a global provider of cloud-and carrierneutral data centre, colocation and interconnection solutions, has announced that Japanese Artificial Intelligence company Turing, has established its cutting-edge computation platform for full driving automation at Digital Realty’ s
NRT10 data centre in Japan.
Turing, a pioneer in developing full driving automation technology, is creating an end-to-end self-driving system powered by AI to control all driving functions, including steering, acceleration and braking, using only vehicle camera data.
The company’ s advancements include‘ Heron,’ a multimodal Generative AI for sophisticated decision-making using text and visual data, and‘ Terra,’ a generative world model that simulates realistic driving scenarios as videos. Turing’ s flagship project,‘ Tokyo30’, aims to achieve Level 5 full driving automation for 30 minutes or more in Tokyo’ s urban areas by the end of 2025.

To support this ambitious initiative, Turing has developed the Gaggle Cluster, a powerful computation platform equipped with 96 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. NRT10, a certified NVIDIA DGX-ready data centre, offers a high-density power supply and advanced infrastructure that maximises GPU performance and efficiency.
Operated by MC Digital Realty, Digital Realty’ s joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan, NRT10 is part of PlatformDIGITAL, Digital Realty’ s global data centre platform. The facility delivers several key benefits for Turing:
