We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new series that brings you the freshest updates on Autoware—welcome to The Autoware Café! ☕️

In each episode of the Autoware Café, we’ll sit down with amazing folks from the Autoware community to chat about everything Autoware. For our first episode, we’re joined by Muhammad Zain Khawaja, Managing Director of Product at the Autoware Foundation. Zain will walk us through our Privately Owned Vehicle initiative—a greenfield project he’s spearheading to deliver an AI-first, open-source autonomous driving stack for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Think L2+, L2++, L3, and eventually L4—all powered by cutting-edge AI foundation models! 🤖

👀 Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll cover:

✅ The journey of building open-source AI models like SceneSeg, Scene3D, EgoPath, and EgoLanes, all crafted by our incredible community 🌟

✅ A high-level look at our product roadmap—how we plan to layer in more sensors, boost capabilities, and roll out new features over time

✅ Our go-to-market strategy and short-term “win” plays that are already in motion

It will be an honest, fun, and insightful conversation—and we want you to be part of it! Bring your questions, ideas, and curiosity, and let’s dive into the future of open-source autonomous driving together. See you at the Autoware Café! 🚗💬
