This work presents AutoDRIVE, a comprehensive research and education platform for implementing and validating intelligent transportation algorithms pertaining to vehicular autonomy as well as smart city management. It is an openly accessible platform featuring a 1:14 scale car with realistic drive and steering actuators, redundant sensing modalities, high-performance computational resources, and standard vehicular lighting system. Additionally, the platform also offers a range of modules for rapid design and development of the infrastructure. The AutoDRIVE platform encompasses Devkit, Simulator and Testbed, a harmonious trio to develop, simulate and deploy autonomy algorithms. It is compatible with a variety of software development packages, and supports single as well as multi-agent paradigms through local and distributed computing. AutoDRIVE is a product-level implementation, with a vast scope for commercialization. This versatile platform has numerous applications, and they are bound to keep increasing as new features are added. This work demonstrates four such applications including autonomous parking, behavioural cloning, intersection traversal and smart city management, each exploiting distinct features of the platform.
