A holistic design and cost-efficient platform to construct self-driving systems is presented, with an emphasis on Linux-based software architectures for computer vision, control system, and inter-vehicle communication. The software is facilitated through the integration of ROS/OpenCV as well as closed-loop control algorithms and Linux in the run-time system. We built a rapid prototyping based on fundamentally open source technologies and hardware under $100, which allows developers to be explored and evaluated in realistic conditions efficiently. Using lane departure and the corresponding performance speedup, we show that our platform reduces the design time, while improving the verification efforts, with the aid of tweaked real-time executives.
