Autoware.Auto

Autoware Core/Universe Migration

We have migrated the development of Autoware to GitHub since 2022.

Please check here to use latest Autoware.

You can find the new Autoware Documentation here.

To learn more about the transition, you can check Past, Present and the Future of Autoware.

You can still make contributions to the Autoware.Auto project but MR's might take a while to be reviewed.

Introduction

Autoware is the world's first "all-in-one" open-source software for self-driving vehicles hosted under the Autoware Foundation.

The Autoware.Auto project, based on ROS 2, is the next generation successor of the Autoware.AI project, based on ROS 1.

The major differentiators of Autoware.Auto compared to Autoware.AI are:

1. Modern software engineering best practices including code reviews, continuous integration testing, thorough documentation, thorough test coverage, style and development guides
2. Improved system architecture and module interface design (including messages and APIs)
3. An emphasis on reproducibility and determinism at the library, node, and system levels

Functionality

Autoware.Auto initially targets the following two use cases:

1. Autonomous Valet Parking
2. Autonomous Cargo Delivery

As of January 2021, the valet parking functionality has been implemented and was showcased in a live vehicle demonstration. It allows maneuvering at low speeds on a parking lot.

The cargo delivery functionality is in development. It will allow driving in a more difficult environment with intersections and indoor navigation, at moderate speeds. Each use case is designed with respect to a target Operational Design Domain (ODD), and the current milestones for development can be viewed here.
