apollo-v5.0.0

Apollo 5.0 is an effort to support volume production for Geo-Fenced Autonomous Driving. The car now has 360-degree visibility, along with upgraded perception deep learning model to handle the changing conditions of complex road scenarios, making the car more secure and aware. Scenario-based planning has been enhanced to support additional scenarios like pull over and crossing bare intersections.

Autonomous Drive Capabilities

Vehicles with this version can drive autonomously in complex urban road conditions including both residential and downtown areas. BE CAUTIOUS WHEN DRIVING AUTONOMOUSLY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT OR IN POOR VISION ENVIRONMENT. URBAN DRIVING INVOLVES NAVIGATING HIGH RISK ZONES LIKE SCHOOLS, PLEASE TEST APOLLO 5.0 WITH THE SUPPORT FROM APOLLO ENGINEERING TEAM, PLEASE AVOID DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT SPEEDS THAT ARE ABOVE OUR SUPPORTED THRESHOLD.
