The tender also includes an opportunity to a later upgrade to a complete platform for autonomous driving (AD) when further funding is secured. I.e an upgrade with advanced high-quality sensors that enable the full functionality offered by one of the AD frameworks. Either Apollo, Autoware or based on Nvidia Drive. For further requirements, please see the contracting authority's requirement specification in Annex 1. At present, budget funds of 2 000 000 NOK have been allocated, but the ambition is to secure additional funding for a complete AV platform.
