## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
