The Autoware Foundation is a non-profit organization created to facilitate the deployment of open source collaborative engineering Autoware projects, starting with Autoware.AI, Autoware.Auto, and Autoware.IO.

  • Autoware.AI is the original Autoware project started in 2015 by Shinpei Kato at Nagoya University. The open source self-driving solution is being used globally by more than 100 companies in more than 30 vehicles today.
  • Autoware.Auto is Autoware reimagined. Based on ROS 2, Autoware.Auto, applying best-in-class software engineering practices, has the objective is to facilitate the industrialization of Autoware.
  • Autoware.IO focuses on the different electronic sub-systems of an autonomous vehicle (sensors, cameras, computating platforms)

Shinpei Kato from Tier IV and the University of Tokyo, Jan Becker from Apex.AI and Stanford University and Yang Zhang from Linaro 96Boards and the Chinese Academy of Sciences AI Institute have together formed the founding Board of Directors for the Autoware Foundation. The Board is responsible for the operation of the Autoware Foundation.

Target applications include autonomous vehicles, intelligent storage in large-scale data centers, robotics, defense applications and drones.
