System Configuration#

(To be completed)

The section describes the system configuration of the PoV vehicles. It shows the options to design your own PoV vehicles. The configuration consists of ECU selection, development approach, middleware candidates, etc.

Version#

There are four phases on the roadmap.

version

Hardware Selection#

The PoV software stack heavily relies on the inference models, which means high performant GPU is required.

Here is the rough GPU requirements:

  • Vision Pilot: 50-80 TOPS
  • Vision Pilot Plus: 150 TOPS
  • Vision Pilot Pro: 500 TOPS
  • Vision Drive: 1000 TOPS

NVIDIA GPU is well supported. AMD, Qualcomm and other vendors (e.g. NPU Halio-8) are on the roadmap.

Development Approach#

  • Native Installation: Direct installation on hardware for maximum performance
  • Containerized Development: Reproducible environments with easier team collaboration (on the roadmap)

Middleware Choice#

Now the PoV supports two kinds of pipeline:

  • ROS: Able to bridge with the existing Autoware system.
  • Zenoh: High performant middleware.
