*This was a HYBRID Event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and Virtual attendance…
ABSTRACT
This talk by Professor Shinpei Kato will provide insight into the system architecture of Autoware, the leading Open Source Software (OSS) for Autonomous Driving (AD), and discuss key aspects of commercializing AD solutions that are being addressed thru the efforts of the Autoware Foundation ecosystem. The AD market will be discussed in terms of developing and commercializing AD solutions for specific Operational Design Domains (ODDs). Specific ODD implementations by Tier IV, a leading provider of AD solutions based on Autoware, will be addressed, highlighting some of the key challenges faced in bring these AD solutions to market.
