apollo-v3.0.0
Apollo 3.0 enables L4 product level solution that allows vehicles to drive in a closed venue setting at a low speed. Automakers can now leverage this one stop solution for autonomous driving without having to customize on their own.
Major Features And Improvements
- New Safety module called Guardian
- Enhanced Surveillance module - Monitor
- Hardware service layer that will now act like a platform and not a product, giving developers the flexibility to integrate their own Hardware
- Apollo Sensor Unit (ASU)
- New Gatekeeper - Ultrasonic Sensor
- Perception module changes:
- CIPV detection/ Tailgating – moving within a single lane
- Whole lane line support - bold line support for long range accuracy. There are 2 different types on installations for Camera, low and high installation.
- Online pose estimation – determines angle change and estimates it when there are bumps or slopes to ensure that the sensors move with the car and the angle/pose changes accordingly
- Visual localization – we now use camera for localization. This functionality is currently being tested.
- Ultrasonic Sensor – Currently being tested as the final gatekeeper to be used in conjunction with Guardian for Automated Emergency brake and vertical/perpendicular parking.
