Many of the tools and processes at the core of autonomous driving technologies were developed in research labs and universities. With the industry reaching a new level of maturity, these tools need to “grow up” in order to meet the challenging requirements of production vehicles. These infrastructure components will form the basis of a new software ecosystem that combines the scale of modern data centers with the rigorous safety requirements of aircraft. We explore the results of extensive customer discovery, summarizing the various approaches and identifying some opportunities to accelerate development.
