Why doesn't it mention how to connect IPC's CAN to MKZ's CAN bus? about apollo

As stated in the Prerequisites section under "In the Vehicle" in "Hardware and System Installation Guide":
The vehicle must be modified for “drive-by-wire” technology by a professional service company. Also, a CAN interface hookup must be provided in the trunk where the IPC will be mounted.

It is recommended to hire a "professional" to do this type of modification to enable controlling the vehicle via CAN interface. As part of the modification, CAN interface will be provided; you will then be able to connect it to the IPC. An example of such is the installation of an ADAS kit made by dataspeed (and their power distribution panel).

Currently we do NOT provide information on how to modify cars.

@aiguo159 I just want to verify if Apollo 1.0 realizes the simple ADAS which needs algorithm to control the vehicle. If the MKZ's CAN bus is connected to IPC's, it's possible that Apollo 1.0 has simple ADAS function. If no, I suppose like this, according to below information from Overview of Apollo

Apollo 1.0, also referred to as the Automatic GPS Waypoint Following, works in an enclosed venue such as a test track or parking lot. It accurately replays a trajectory and the speed of that trajectory that a human driver has traveled in an enclosed, flat area on solid ground.

so does Apollo 1.0 just have replaying trajectory function and have no control of the vehicle's dynamics?

Thanks!

@fengjin89 1.0 is merely waypoint follower, meaning we record a trajectory, and replay it back so vehicle can drive exact same trajectory as the recorded one. And we do have control of vehicle's dynamics during this process.
