Autoware is the world's leading open-source, production-ready software stack for autonomous driving, built on ROS 2 and hosted by the Autoware Foundation. It provides a comprehensive all-in-one stack covering perception, localization, planning, and control for deploying autonomous vehicles across diverse platforms.
Use cases
- build a self-driving car software stack on ROS 2
- run autonomous driving simulations in a planner demo
- deploy Level 4 autonomous driving on commercial vehicles
- research perception and planning algorithms for autonomous vehicles
- integrate lidar and camera sensing into an autonomous vehicle pipeline
- prototype autonomous delivery or robotaxi software
When to choose
- you need a production-oriented, open-source autonomous driving stack backed by an industry foundation
- you want ROS 2-based modular autonomy software with broad vehicle and sensor support
- you are doing academic or commercial research on autonomous driving
When to avoid
- you need a simple hobby robotics framework rather than a full vehicle autonomy stack
- your project targets non-automotive robotics with lightweight requirements
- you cannot meet the substantial compute and Linux/Docker environment requirements
