A curated list of awesome applications, libraries and datasets concerning the development and testing of automated driving functions with a focus on ASAM OpenX Standards (e.g. OpenDRIVE, OpenSCENARIO, OpenLABEL, ...).

This is a list of free software and datasets, whereas non-free software will be listed on the non-free page. Also, check out ASAM's official open source platform. The structure of this list was inspired by awesome selfhosted.
