Autoware Foundation demonstrates Autonomous Valet Parking with AS |
|
AutonomouStuff hosted the Autoware Foundation and Apex.AI at its Silicon Valley office in October for the culmination of a community development effort that adds significant new functionality to the Autoware.Auto self-driving software stack: Autonomous Valet Parking (AVP).
As one of the most critical elements of our Open Autonomy Pilot, Autoware gives autonomous driving hardware and software developers a robust system to test innovative ideas and deliver results.
The successful introduction of AVP opens even more opportunities, on top of the capability to send a vehicle off to park itself and then return autonomously — all from the screen of a cellphone.
Development tools to showcase the AVP enhanced functionality included:
-
a Lexus RX450h platform with an AutonomouStuff PACMod 3.0 drive-by-wire system.
- automotive-grade navigation software.
- a 3D map of the parking lot to test software in simulation prior to real-world deployment.
With AVP and the tap of a finger, Autoware can now park a vehicle and retrieve it on command! For more details and video of the demonstration, check out the Autoware Foundation blog.

Meet the team: John Hawkins |
|
John Hawkins recently joined the AutonomouStuff team in Morton and is putting two decades of warehousing industry experience to work helping manage our inventory. John said the new position requires a different approach to familiar skills and a fresh perspective. Before joining AS, John also lived in Finland for 11 years, where he taught English, studied languages and edited texts, in addition to raising a son who now lives and works in Scotland.
"Now, dealing with direct inventory, I find it interesting because of how it behaves in the system, requiring a different type of thinking," John said. "In my previous job, our inventory dealt with a lot of outdated machinery, whereas now I'm dealing with cutting edge technology. That's exciting."
