Reimagining Intelligent Vehicles: The Art & Technology of Open Source

Speakers

Autonomous control and decision systems are forming the basis for significant pieces of our nation’s critical infrastructure. In particular, Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) present direct and urgent safety-critical challenges. About 10 years ago, the self-driving car industry made rosy predictions on widespread adoption of the technology by 2020; however, this has not come to pass due, in large part, to concerns about safety and robustness of the technology while operating in complex scenarios and the underestimation of the true difficulty of fielding robust perception and control systems in the real world. Much of today’s research on AVs is limited to Big Tech experimentation on expensive commercial vehicles that require large teams with diverse skills and power-hungry platforms. 

This talk presents Autoware, an open-source software project that provides full-stack capabilities of autonomous driving, alongside the lessons learned on building intelligent vehicles. Autoware is deployed in commercially-successful robotaxis in Tokyo, buses in Istanbul and Michigan, cargo vehicles for logistics and Indy Autonomous Racing vehicles. The Autoware Foundation has over 80+ industry and academic consortium partners who collaboratively develop the AV software and hardware stack. We will walk through what it takes to make open-source software successful for future mobility.
