FAQ
1. What’s Move-it?
Move-it is a hackathon for self-driving, aiming to build an affordable development platform(chassis) for self-driving, solving various engineering challenges along the process.
2. What exactly will I do?
Group collaboration, mentor guidance, social parties & local exploration. Hands-on hacking includes:
-
Hacking of car control, both lateral and longitudinal controls, to achieve drive-by-wire
-
Self-driving setup and test of 1/16 scale car powered by Raspberry Pi
-
Installation and test run of self-driving software Autoware on full-sized car
3. What about Hardware?
The hackathon will be in a hackspace with dedicated tools, components, sensors and so on. Name a few: CAN bus analyzer, EPS steering column, ABS pump, VCU vehicle control unit, GNSS, 16-channel LiDAR, obstacle avoidance radar, camera, high performance onboard computer, by-wire electric vehicle(for reference), electric chassis/platform, various soldering and cutting equipment, place for testing and installing.
4. Why participating Move-it?
To ignite your passion for engineering and creativity, sharing your works and achievements with the rest of world. Have fun！
5. Are there mentors or speakers?
Yes. We’ve invited engineer from autonomoustuff.com as the mentor of by-wire technology(making confirmation currently), also engineer from http://tier4.jp/en/ as the mentor of self-driving software part(confirmed), and Chris Anderson from DIY Robocars to participate remotely(confirmed).
6. Who owns the outcomes and intellectual property?
The ultimate IP is shared by the hackathon host and the participants. All the hackathon outcomes will be open source on Github. Hardware for Move-it Hackathon is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0).

MOVE-IT HACKATHON
Talented creative engineer and designer volunteers worldwide, you are Wanted! Together, we’ll build an affordable development platform of self-driving during the five-day collaboration. The whole workshop process and outputs will be open to the public in various ways. Meanwhile, the most special and unique experiences are created for global engineers & designers: collaborative development, fabrication workshop, social parties, keynote speech, mentor communication and local exploration etc.. You are bound to get inspired. The ultimate goal of Move-It Workshop to co-create an open, democratized, affordable and reliable self-driving development platform.
The advent of autonomous technology has led to an amazing revolution, changing not just how cars are designed and made, but also transforming cultures, politics and economics. However, the entry barrier of self-driving prevents us from the progress in transportation democratization. Move-it workshop aims to lower the barriers and facilitate the innovation in self-driving application by open collaboration. Together, we’ll build an affordable, reliable and safe self-driving development platform for students, engineers and startups who are passionate about this industry. Move-it Workshop is a reflection for transportation revolution and a step for democratizing technology. It’s an experiment for independence, open mind, and spirit of inclusion. Move-it Workshop builds an engineer and designer collaboration community which combines technology, fabrication, mentors as well as resources.
WHY THE HACKATHON?
The main challenge in self-driving industry is the barrier of entry. If you are a small startup building a local autonomous delivery service or a single engineer trying out latest deep learning approaches for car/traffic sign detection, it is incredible hard (sometimes even impossible) to get things off the ground and test your solution in the real world setting. At the moment, this industry is reserved only for the big league, with heavy financial backing, which is pushing small players out at the very beginning of the game.
Another thing is the technology, which clearly has so many benefits on the society as a whole, will be first developed and deployed in just a few countries around the world. This puts the rest of the world in unequal position. With the Workshop, we want to explore the possibility of building an affordable self driving car platform that startups and hobbyists worldwide can participate and develop together. We believe that self-driving industry can be a playground for the general developers in the future, rather than for VC-favored enterprises only.
WHAT’S IT ABOUT
Move-It Hackathon is a reflection for transportation revolution. It’s an experiment for independence, open mind, and spirit of inclusion. Move-It Hackathon builds an engineer and designer collaboration community which combines technology, fabrication, mentors and resources together. Self-driving is about to revolutionize the transportation industry, but the barrier of entry prevents us from the progress in transportation democratization. By building an affordable development platform through Move-It Hackathon, we hope to lower the barriers and facilitate the innovation in self-driving. The Hackathon is dedicated to building an affordable, reliable and safe self-driving development platform for students, engineers and startups who are passionate about this industry.
