Last week, Shanghai hosted another exciting chapter of the Autoware Meetup Series in China, held at the vibrant offices of Inceptio Technology. Over 60 leaders from across the mobility ecosystem gathered to exchange insights on open source collaboration, talent development, value-added integrations, and more.

China’s engagement with Autoware continues to accelerate, with new members like Inceptio Technology, Weichai, and Synkrotron joining the Autoware Foundation. Their presence and contributions are already making an impact.

Here is a few highlights from Autoware Meetup in China:

• Inceptio Technology shared plans to integrate their proven AD system—already surpassing 200 million kilometers in commercial operation—with Autoware.
• Weichai Power Co., Ltd presented its roadmap for integrating MQTT and ROS2. Aiming to bridge the gap between autonomous driving and IoT domains within the Autoware stack.
• Synkrotron introduced their On-Demand Scenario Generation (OSG) framework. Enabling efficient creation of traffic scenarios with variable risk levels for ADS validation.

The day continued with two insightful panel discussions:
