Read What This Off-road Autonomy Vehicle Software Startup is Doing after a $10M Seed Funding

Autonomous vehicle software is a programmable system to manage a complex set of automotive hardware, data, integrated toolchains, and simulation frameworks, that are used to develop autonomous vehicles or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The software integrates different types of data for AI ML model development, simulation, validation and hardware innovation in a scalable format. These models are mostly built in-house with automakers, or in AI labs with a DevOps team to enhance accuracy of output and improve safety. Many organizations are coming together to develop autonomous driver software for the industry. For example, Google created the Open Automotive Alliance (OAA) in collaboration with Audi, General Motors, Honda, and Hyundai. Since its inception in 2015, many renowned automotive companies have joined the OTT to develop safer technologies for a seamless driving experience using mobile (Android) data.
