Suspension of Maps and Routing Working Group

During the Autoware Foundation’s February TSC meeting, the Maps and Routing Working Group leaders proposed that this working group be suspended temporarily. The reason for this is that there is a significant overlap between the work being done in this group and the work being done in the Autonomy Software Working Group for the AVP2020 goal, leading to duplicated or bifurcated discussion.

The suspension of the working group is only temporary until the AVP2020 work is complete, in late April. The TSC will re-evaluate this decision after AVP2020 completes. Until then, all discussion relating to maps and routing will be handled by the ASWG or, obviously, here in Discourse.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank @Brian_Holt and @mitsudome-r for the hard work they have put in over the last half a year, which has seen the working group continually be a venue for excellent discussion.
