Tip
Take a look at the OpenADS Documentation to get started right away!
OpenADS explores how distributed partners can build compatible automated driving services and use benchmarks to identify stronger system compositions. The work is embedded in Germany's Ecosystem Mobility 4.0 initiative and aligned with the goals of the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance.
