Understand this story
On November 2, 2026, the Autoware Foundation released the open-source autonomous driving software Autoware 2.0. On the same day, TIER IV announced that it is working with the Autoware Foundation and the open-source community to advance this version. The new version adds support for end-to-end AI and hybrid driving stacks while retaining rule-based modules, and introduces a generator-selector architecture that allows multiple trajectory generators to run within the same system, with a selector deciding the output, so developers can combine rule-based modules, AI modules, or hybrid approaches. Models and datasets are hosted by default under the Autoware Foundation's Hugging Face organization, and a new Autoware Index registry and accompanying CLI have been added. Autoware 2.0 is now live on GitHub, with documentation at docs.autoware.org.
