+The CARLA team is delighted to announce that our Leaderboard partners, [__Guardstrike__](https://guardstrike.com/), have released the [__CARLA-Apollo bridge__](https://github.com/guardstrikelab/carla_apollo_bridge). 
+
+[__Apollo__](https://github.com/guardstrikelab/apollo) is an open-source L4 autonomous driving software stack used by many OEMs, solution vendors, developers and researchers. The CARLA-Apollo bridge connects the two popular open-source software packages, enabling Apollo software stacks to drive the CARLA simulator and receive, assimilate, interpret and visualize data through the extensively featured Apollo interface.

+This promises great new potential for both user communities, connecting a high performance, flexible platform for accelerating development and testing of AD software stacks with the industry's most widely used open-source simulator.
