The first software tier 1 provider for
vehicles in Japan
micware’s core business is the micAuto brand of in-vehicle platform
software.
We have been developing software for controlling
in-vehicle networks in cooperation with automobile manufacturers and suppliers for a great many years.
On the strength of our experience, track record and
long-standing knowledge, we will continue to move forward toward our goal of becoming a “mobility service
platformer” offering ever more innovative mobility services.
A modern automobile is equipped with more than 100 computing units whose
function is to coordinate and control many different networks.
This is a major difference from electronic devices like
personal computers and smartphones.
Autonomous driving,
which is waiting to be put to practical use, cannot become reality without this network technology.
micAuto is a brand of mobility services combining all the
different technologies of micware, an expert in the in-vehicle network field.
micAuto’s 2 business areas
Automotive platform
(software tier 1) business
micAuto’s strength lies in its being Japan's first Software Tier
1 for vehicles.
All IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment:
information and entertainment system for automobiles) software working in conjunction with navigation
and audio systems, as well as smartphone synchronization functions like Carplay and Android Auto, and
driving support functions like driver monitoring and traffic sign recognition, can be developed and
run on the Android OS.
We also offer one-stop
services, from building the development environment to automatic testing, via an IVI development
platform running on our original technology.

Network
service business
One of the micAuto brand’s future axes of development is
going to be the network service business.
By applying the
in-vehicle network technology we specialize in to cloud network technology, we intend to develop
cloud services that will contribute to the MaaS society of the future, like the Wariatekun
logistics IoT system and anti-theft services.
Voices from the development floor
Micware Automotive Co., Ltd.
Representative Director
Tomohiro Kitagawa
micAuto's main business is developing software for IVI
in-vehicle equipment, which our predecessor company worked on over a period of 30 years.
Our strength lies in our ability to provide one-stop solutions
for all of automobile manufacturers’ software development processes.
In the future, we will actively engage in SDV (Software
Defined Vehicle) related development and develop our business with an awareness of CASE (Connected /
Autonomous / Sharing & Services / Electric), which is the key to the automotive industry, which is
said to be undergoing a major transformation once in a century.
