Apollo is an open-source autonomous driving platform providing a high-performance, modular software stack for developing, testing, and deploying self-driving vehicles. It includes modules for perception, planning, control, and simulation, and runs in Docker-based development containers on Ubuntu with NVIDIA or AMD GPUs.

Use cases

• build self-driving car software
• develop autonomous vehicle perception and planning modules
• simulate autonomous driving scenarios
• integrate with a by-wire vehicle platform
• prototype ADAS or robotaxi software
• research autonomous driving algorithms

When to choose

• you need a full-featured, production-proven autonomous driving stack
• you have compatible hardware (by-wire vehicle, NVIDIA/AMD GPU, Ubuntu)
• you want an active open-source AV platform with a large community

When to avoid

• you only need lightweight robotics middleware without driving-specific modules
• you cannot meet the hardware requirements (by-wire vehicle, GPU, Ubuntu)
• you want a simple plug-and-play solution rather than a complex platform to calibrate and configure
