Autonomous driving development with minimal programming required

Autonomous driving research involves cooperation between engineers across fields, from control systems to machine learning. However, obtaining required programming skills to develop autonomous driving systems takes a lot of time and energy. We think that anyone with valuable knowledge should be able to contribute to development of autonomous driving technologies without going through struggles of software development.

AVSys is an end-to-end design tool covering both hardware and software modules of an autonomous car. Using the model-based design methodology, users can describe the autonomous driving system as a block diagram. There, individual modules of the car are mapped to separate blocks. Relationships between modules are represented by linkages between blocks. After the system model is fully defined, a user only needs to write code for individual modules, without having to care for the overall source code structure, dependencies or build mechanisms.
