Open-Source Driving
Open source projects are being created to develop and train autonomous driving
Trend - Both companies and individual researchers in the autonomous vehicle industry are launching open-source tools to enhance self-driving capabilities. On both the hardware and software side, these tools are widely applicable and can be used to simulate errors in self-driving models, improving safety.

Insight - While autonomous driving is gaining popularity at an exponential rate, it is still far and away a minority of drivers that utilize these features. Even drivers with vehicles capable of self-driving often avoid the feature for safety concerns. However, as hardware and software become more advanced, the safety of autonomous driving continues to improve, mitigating safety concerns. Companies in the space are launching open-source self-driving tools to accelerate the improvement of these features.
Workshop Question - How could your brand's product or service benefit from open-source collaboration?
