|  | Finished | **[Japan Automotive AI Challenge 2023 (Integration)](<https://www.jsae.or.jp/jaaic/2023_summary.php>)**<br>**Registration:** June 5, 2023 - July 14, 2023<br>**Qualifiers:** July 3, 2023 - Aug. 31, 2023<br>**Finals:** Nov. 12, 2023<br><br>In this competition, we focus on challenging tasks posed by autonomous driving in factory environments and aim to develop Autoware-based AD software that can overcome them. The qualifiers use the [digital twin autonomous driving simulator AWSIM](<https://autowarefoundation.github.io/AWSIM/>) to complete specific tasks within a virtual environment. Teams that make it to the finals have the opportunity to run their software on actual vehicles in a test course in Japan. |
|  | Finished | **[Japan Automotive AI Challenge 2023 (Simulation)](<https://www.jsae.or.jp/jaaic/2023_simulation.php>)**<br>**Registration:** Nov 6, 2023 - Dec 28, 2023<br>**Date:** Dec 4, 2023 - Jan. 31, 2024<br><br>This contest is a software development contest with a motorsports theme. Participants will develop autonomous driving software based on [Autoware Universe](<https://github.com/autowarefoundation/autoware_universe>), and integrate it into a racing car that runs in the End to End simulation space (AWSIM). The goal is simple, win the race while driving safely! |
