We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,
not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
-- John F. Kennedy, 1962

Welcome to the Apollo GitHub.

Apollo is an open autonomous driving platform. It is a high performance flexible architecture which supports fully autonomous driving capabilities.

We strongly recommend building Apollo in our pre-specified Docker environment. See the following instructions on how to set up the docker environment and build from source.

bash docker/scripts/install_docker.sh
bash docker/scripts/dev_start.sh
bash docker/scripts/dev_into.sh

bash apollo.sh build

Follow the steps below to launch Apollo:

# start Human Machine Interface(HMI)
bash scripts/hmi.sh

Access HMI by openning your favorite browser, e.g. Chrome, go to https://localhost:8887, click Dreamview to start.

Click upper-right Dreamview button

to load Dreamview UI.

# in a different terminal inside docker
rosbag play -l ./docs/demo_guide/demo.bag

Dreamview should show a running vehicle with trajectory now.

Advanced users who wish to build outside this Docker container can refer to the corresponding Docker specification file (./docker/dev.dockerfile).

Apollo documents can be found under the docs repository.

• quickstart: the quickstart tutorial.
• demo_guide: the guide for demonstration.
• how to contribute code: the guide for contributing code to Apollo.
• howto: tutorials on how to build, run and modify codes.
• specs: Specification documents of Apollo 1.0.

You are welcome to submit questions and bug reports as Github Issues.
