Autoware (Architecture Proposal)

What's this

This is the source code of the feasibility study for Autoware architecture proposal.

WARNING: This source is solely for demonstrating an architecture proposal. It should not be used to drive cars.

Architecture overview is here.

How to setup

Requirements

Hardware

• x86 CPU (8 or more cores)
• 16 GB or more of memory
• Nvidia GPU (4GB or more of memory) :

Software

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Nvidia driver

If cuda or tensorRT is already installed, it is recommended to remove it.

Autoware setup

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/tier4/AutowareArchitectureProposal.git
cd AutowareArchitectureProposal/

2. Run the setup script

./setup_ubuntu18.04.sh

In this step, the following software are installed. Please confirm their licenses before using them.

• osqp
• ROS Melodic
• CUDA 10.2
• cuDNN 7
• TensorRT 7
• geographiclib-tools

3. Build the source

catkin build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Note that the computer need to be connected to Internet to download neural network weight files.

How to run
