The Three Pillars of the Platform
Software
The environment for developing RumiCar. Learn from the basics with sample programs and the simulator.
Hardware
The library (such as the RumiCar GitHub) is where the programs and materials needed to run RumiCar are hosted.
Service
Events and community gatherings, where you can build RumiCar vehicles, drive them, and learn how to program them.
What RumiCar Aims For
We aim to provide an environment where anyone in the world can create autonomous driving programs. We will bring RumiCar not only to Japan but also to the rest of the world. Our goal is to make it possible for anyone to write autonomous driving programs for cars on public roads. In the future, we intend to turn RumiCar into a company.
