July 7, 2026

Japanese self-driving startup Turing has closed a $79 million Series A funding round.

This funding round, revealed on July 6, combined with the $95 million the vendor raised in November 2025, brings the vendor’s total fundraising to $174 million.

Among the investors are AMD Ventures, Mitsubishi Corporation and MUFG Bank. The presence of AMD Ventures, the venture capital arm of chipmaker AMD, is notable as the new funding coincides with the development that Turing is now using AMD's AI accelerators in its systems, reducing its reliance on Nvidia chips.
