Going Driverless at Einride: How We Developed a CAN Library
summary
Einride uses Go to control real vehicles and releases an open source CAN library at go.einride.tech/can that parses DBC files and codegenerates typed Go structs with a DBC-to-Go generator. The stack uses Linux SocketCAN sockets plugged into Go’s netpoller, a transmitter/receiver API, and a gamepad→CAN demo that actually steers and brakes a retrofitted test vehicle used in production; missing features are CAN FD and the socket CAN broadcast manager, but the system works end to end.
