Apollo Valet Parking (AVP) empowers vehicles with the power to satisfy remote car retrieval, remote car automated parking, self-detective parking spots, and even low-speed cruise, while greatly improving the parking experience for car drivers. The Baidu AVP solution consists of software including sensing, perception, planning, and control. Baidu also developed a domain controller called Apollo Computing Unit (ACU), integrated with RTI Connext DriveTM software, that’s aimed towards production projects to supply the full stack capability for car OEMs.
