Providing Unique Solutions Through Cutting-Edge Technology
“I2X” Roadside Units
To improve safety at intersections, we are combining our expertise in wireless communications technology and automotive solutions to develop I2X*1 roadside units that gather and transmit pedestrian and vehicle location information. In addition, we have conducted road tests for ADAS, and are developing critical ITS*2 infrastructure systems for autonomous driving in Japan.

Smart Checkout System
Kyocera's proprietary AI accurately recognizes grocery items for smooth checkout. Compared to conventional checkout systems, Kyocera's AI database reduces the need to register all items when making updates, so this system is expected to reduce costs and labor through fast, contactless self checkout at stores.
