Open Source Data Platform for Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving is currently receiving tremendous attention due to the competition in reaching level 4 vehicles with high automation. The main challenges for self-driving are 3d map construction, self-localization, and interpreting the surroundings. Still, the availability of large datasets is the biggest bottleneck for developing robust prediction models.

Open Source Data Platforms

It can be hard to find datasets that are suitable for the domain of application. The following lists shows are a collection of platforms that provide search functionality to find suited datasets for general purposes:

• Google Dataset Search Engine (Link): The search engine indexes machine learning datasets that are available on the world-wide-web.
• Amazon Open Datasets (Link): Amazon’s data registry offers 200 datasets of open data which is maintained by third parties and stored on AWS storage.
• Microsoft Research Open Data (Link): This data repository contains several available datasets mainly in the domain of natural science.
• Kaggle Datasets (Link): The dataset store is an openly available platform with more than 66,000 uploaded datasets for various domains.
• DATA.GOV Datasets (Link): DATA.GOV holds unique data…
