Project
Apollo
Open autonomous-driving platform with software, simulation, and vehicle-development tooling.
Overview
Apollo is an open autonomous-driving platform with software and development tooling. Its developer site covers the platform, and Baidu’s official materials identify its role in the Apollo project.
Origin & context
Baidu launched the Apollo autonomous-driving open platform in 2017 after beginning autonomous-driving R&D in 2013. This establishes its Chinese-company origin; today's public code and services are not the same as the historical launch.
