What it does

  • Provides entry-level L2 ADAS features: cruise control, forward collision warning, emergency braking, lane keeping, lane departure warning, speed assist and single-lane highway autopilot.
  • Runs on a single front-facing monocular camera with a 52 to 55 degree horizontal field of view and 1 to 2 megapixel resolution.
  • Combines perception models for safety with end-to-end models for performance, processing data in parallel.
  • Uses three Autoware Foundation models: AutoSpeed for in-path object detection, AutoSteer for path waypoints, and AutoDrive for distance and road curvature.
  • Operates in a mapless mode and does not require 3D high definition maps.
  • Can be built from source with ONNX Runtime, installed from a Debian package, or run in a Docker container, with GPU or CPU support and optional ROS2 and occupancy views.
