This week, we held the Autoware Foundation General Assembly Meeting 2025 at the Technical University of Munich 🇩🇪

For the first time in 7 years, our General Assembly took place in a hybrid format — connecting our global community both in person and online.

Most of the Autoware Foundation team, member representatives (including newly joined members), collaborators at FTM Institute of Automotive Technology TUM, and invited guests joined on-site.

At the same time, 50+ participants joined remotely via Zoom and stayed with us for the full 3-hour General Assembly — following:
✅ Latest Autoware updates
✅ New member introductions
✅ High-energy 2-minute lightning talks from our members (both online & in-person)

A big thank you to Johannes Betz, Markus Lienkamp and the incredible TUM team for hosting us and for the exclusive tour of their autonomy facilities — including where TUM EDGAR is developed.

👏 Big shout-out to our lightning talk contributors:
AutoCore.ai | Kudan | Fixposition | Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)(工業技術研究院, 工研院) | RoboSense | Auve Tech | Whale Dynamic | Inceptio Technology | Elm Company | PIX Moving | BrightDrive | scaledrive.ai | TIER IV

As we head into the final stretch of 2025, the alignment, maturity, and momentum across the Autoware ecosystem is stronger than ever. Thank you to everyone who continues to build this journey with us.
