The Autonomous Vehicle Computing Consortium (AVCC) is a group of automotive and technology industry leaders coming together to help accelerate the delivery of safe and affordable autonomous vehicles at scale.

The AVCC will define a reference architecture and platform to meet the autonomous performance goals within the power, thermal and size constraints of a vehicle. This computing platform will be designed specifically to move today’s prototype systems to deployment at scale. The group will also develop the requirements for software APIs for each building block in an autonomous system.
