The University of California Irvine (UCI) has been awarded a $100,000 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to develop CADRI, a cloud-based autonomous driving software research infrastructure. This first-of-its-kind infrastructure will provide a cataloged library of autonomous driving software testing approaches, pre-configured autonomous driving simulators on the cloud, and a dataset repository and benchmark. The goal is to improve accessibility and reusability of autonomous driving software testing tools, foster more effective university-industry collaboration, and ultimately contribute to safer and more comfortable autonomous vehicles. The planning activities supported through this award include prototype library development, community planning workshops, prototype software development, and pilot studies. This project aims to lower the barrier to entry for researchers in the autonomous driving software domain and accelerate advancements in this critical technology.
