ApolloAuto/apollo ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a working version of Apollo as an autonomous driving platform that I can set up locally and launch in a demo mode.

I want the project to run in a container on a supported Ubuntu machine, with clear setup steps, a clean start script, and a way to bring up the core driving system from the command line. Make it feel like a real self driving stack, with the main pieces for perception, planning, control, and vehicle communication wired together so I can understand how the system flows. If there are any current install or dependency details that matter, please check the latest docs online and use those.

Please keep the experience practical, with good defaults, sensible error messages, and a quick way to verify everything is working. If full vehicle integration is too much, focus on getting the platform buildable, runnable, and easy to explore in a safe demo or simulation style setup.
