Five Days, 15+ Engineers, Hacking and Building a Self-driving CAR?
This time, we are doing it, going real, and going big
15 engineers worldwide will gather together in Guiyang on March 9th. They are going to collaboratively hack a car and retrofit into a self-driving car, in FIVE days!
They are from Japan, from the US, from Turkey, from Ukraine, from Singapore, India, and also Egypt, China and Europe. Some of them are skilled hackers, some are experienced engineers, some creative students and some are productive employees.
They are obsessed and creating passionately in their world of self-driving: deep learning, robotics, autonomous control, embedded software, and electronics etc., kindling the possibility of the next big thing. Some of them have been the champions of various hackathons, others have been participant of DARPA Grand Challenge, or have been the leads of several successful self-driving projects.
They are like this
Like this
And like this
This time, the same vision and aspiration bind them together on March 9th for Move-it Hackathon, a collaborative and sharing event for engineers. It aims to lower the entry barrier of self-driving, solving the common issues in self-driving and providing a more democratized alternative for general developers and startups in this industry.
Move-it is more of an engineering challenge for collaborative innovation instead of a race or competition. All the outcomes will be open to the public, which is hopefully to nurture the very #1 open source community for self-driving, enabling the broader applications and availability of self-driving development.
This hacking feast reveals a full-stack experience from drive-by-wire tech hacking, algorithm debugging, self-driving car installation and test to fun race of DIY Robocars. And there will be social parties, keynote speech, real-road test as well as local exploration.
Mentor from Tier IV/Autoware, Sponsors from Baidu Apollo Auto, partners from Velodyne, Neusoft and Udacity, and also 15+ global engineers from worldwide with different backgrounds: what will those guys ultimately create? A four-wheeled robot? A fancy self-driving car? A functional exposed chassis? A self-driving cafe?
Well, we’ll wait and see. Follow us for more updates on this engineering challenge and hacking feast
