Launching "Reference Platform" Autoware WG

Hello everyone,

Autoware TSC is launching Technical Working Groups, and I am pleased to initiate the one related to: Reference Platform.

Purpose of this WG is to progress on the definition, execution, promotion, distribution, adaptation of reference hardware + software platforms to enable Autoware users with consistent, ready-to-use, documented ECU elements and moving market to benefit from Autoware Eco-System.

The purpose is to help users to move from Experimentation to reference implementation to production. The Autoware members have all bricks for building such Reference Platform, the integration is necessary: this is the scope of this WG.

We need now to:

  • Involve members to participate into this WG. @cheng.chen, @YangZ have been already very active.
  • Move with a plan for initial Reference Platform definition: hardware and software-wise
  • Work on roadmap for alignment os hardware and software and Autoware.AI and Autoware.Auto alignment.

Please Autoware members and users: join and contribute !

Based on feedback, we will arrange a call in August to start collect activities inputs and start planning.
