OUR VISION
By opening up the technologies related to autonomous driving,
we can create a society in which various people can contribute and enjoy the benefits of autonomous driving at a realistic cost.
Open Source Strategy
AUTOWARE
Autoware is an open-source autonomous driving software based on Linux and ROS, with all the features needed for fully autonomous driving based on information from sensors such as Lidar, cameras and GNSS.
