It is not just a software platform, but a core system for the ecosystem of autonomous driving technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe development of Autoware has already made a significant contribution to the practice of emerging autonomous vehicles all over the world. We are proud of Autoware being used by so many, and a very wide variety of, companies, universities, and research institutes. We are happy to support as many computers, sensors, and vehicles as possible.\u201d said Shinpei Kato, Associate Professor at The University of Tokyo and the Founder and CTO of Tier IV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current version of Autoware is mostly used for R&amp;D purposes. With Linaro\u2019s participation, we are now aiming Autoware to be more production- and service-oriented. In particular, we will enable Autoware support on 96Boards, which now supports a full range of the major Arm platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collaboration of Autoware and 96Boards will be the next core of the complete production-quality platform for all Arm SoC vendors, solution providers, and individual developers in the autonomous driving market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 96Boards steering committee now includes more than twenty companies who are working together on Consumer, Enterprise, TV Platform, Networking, IoT and SOM specifications.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the Consumer, Enterprise and TV Platform and IoT specifications have been released with boards available for each. In addition there are a large number of mezzanine products and other accessories available for a range of applications from industrial control and robotics, through AI, HPC and IoT, on to data centres and edge applications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c96Boards products are used in many application spaces as development platforms. There are opportunities for 96Boards in many aspects of automotive development, including pre-production, IVI, ADAS, AD and VCU,\u201d said Yang Zhang, Director of 96Boards. \u201cTier IV and the Autoware open source platform is one of the most widely used ADAS\/AD solutions today. As part of the 96Boards Steering Committee, we will be collaborating on the accelerated adoption of a choice of Arm-based solutions in the automotive space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linaro Ltd, the open source collaborative engineering organisation developing software for the Arm ecosystem, announces Japan-based intelligent vehicle technology company Tier IV\u00a0has joined the 96Boards initiative as a Steering Committee member.
