Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface erdos-project/pylot, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Strengthen README opening to clarify platform vs. simulator and highlight unique architecture
Why:
CURRENTPylot is an autonomous vehicle platform for developing and testing autonomous vehicle components (e.g., perception, prediction, planning) on the CARLA simulator and real-world cars.
COPY-PASTE FIXPylot is an open-source, real-time autonomous vehicle platform for developing and testing perception, prediction, and planning components. It leverages the CARLA simulator and can be deployed on real-world vehicles, offering a stream-based dataflow execution model for robust development.
- mediumcomparison#2Add a 'Comparison with Alternatives' section to README
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXAdd a new section titled 'Comparison with Alternatives' or 'Why Pylot?' that briefly outlines how Pylot's real-time, stream-based dataflow execution model on Erdos differentiates it from other autonomous driving platforms like Autoware.Auto, Apollo, or ROS-based systems, especially regarding modularity, performance, and research focus.
- lowtopics#3Add 'dataflow' and 'real-time' to topics
Why:
CURRENTautonomous-driving, autonomous-vehicles, carla, carla-simulator, control, lane-detection, machine-learning, obstacle-tracking, perception, planning, prediction, self-driving-car, traffic-light-detection
COPY-PASTE FIXautonomous-driving, autonomous-vehicles, carla, carla-simulator, control, dataflow, lane-detection, machine-learning, obstacle-tracking, perception, planning, prediction, real-time, self-driving-car, traffic-light-detection
