Of course. In addition to AutoSD being used in several other open source communities (Eclipse SDV, SOAFEE, Autoware) it is of strong interest to other transportation entities - think trains, farming equipment - as well as robotics applications. To my knowledge no one has deployed it on an RC car but there is no reason not to. We had some discussions internally a few years ago about f1tenth. It would have to be a community effort, though.

Meeting attendance has declined significantly - we aren't having those discussions in the automotive SIG, which we started before things like Eclipse SDV existed. I would love to reel them back in. One reason we wanted to move this meeting to Matrix is to encourage further communication, as many people have conflicts for a physical meeting who would otherwise be able to attend one on chat. Also willing to move the time around, but every time is bad for someone.

Is there yet a way for people to do something with AutoSD that doesn't
involve being an automaker? Like affordable RC cars or something like
that? It's rather hard to hold a community together that can't do
anything...
