I would like to dedicate this episode to all the developers working on using ROS for autonomous cars, then this episode is dedicated to you.   Today we are going to learn about how we can use open-source ROS2 code to control autonomous cars. How we can test it in simulations and how we can rely on a professional company to support our autonomous cars projects.   But before going into the meat, let me tell you that if you need to improve your ROS skills, you can learn RO2 with The Construct.  We provide self-led training based on robot simulations and remote real robots. You follow our lessons using your web browser and practice from minute one with the simulated robots. Also, as you advance the lesson, you will practice with real robots located in Barcelona. They are available 24/7 for you to remotely connect to them and do your practice.   Have a look at our webpage about the different subjects you can learn on ROS1 and ROS2 and start practicing today with robots from minute one with The Construct.   Now let’s go to the meat of the episode. Let me introduce you Dr. Shimpei Kato. Shimpei is the founder of Tier IV as well as Chairman of the board of directors of the Autoware Foundation. Additionally, he is an associate professor of the University of Tokyo.
