Presentation

Open Source SDV Development: Autoware Open AD Kit 3.0

This presentation will introduce the Autoware Open AD Kit 3.0, a collaborative effort from key software-defined vehicle stakeholders such as Arm, AWS, eSync Alliance, Leo Drive, Excelfore, RedHat, PIX Moving, SOAFEE and TIER IV. The Open AD Kit framework is a testament to Autoware Foundation's vision of developing SDV solutions based on open standards and collaboration. On the technical side, the presentation will go through the company's elaborate CES demo to explain the essential components (cloud-native, DevOps, OTA, containerization, etc) that enable the big loop, a concept that is frequently used to describe how modern software development methodologies are translating into automotive.
