Open-Source Self-Driving Car Simulators πΉοΈ π
You want to play around with self-driving car software and gather some experience? Check out these open-source self-driving car simulators!
Details below π
CARLA
CARLA is a great software developed by Intel. You can use it to work on any step of the pipeline, model different sensors, maps, traffic. It also integrates with ROS.
Another great simulator by Voyage - the self-driving company that was recently acuired by Cruise. It is built on the Unreal Engine and supports lots of features.
This one comes from Microsoft and soofers simulation for both drones and cars. It gives you control to the vehicle perception and control and makes it easy to record training data.
This is a fun simulator for Duckietown. Duckietown is a non-profit foundation that promotes robotics and AI. You can actually buy the physical Duckiebot and the Duckietown world!

Udacity Self-Driving Car Nanodegree
This program offers hands on experience on all kind of relevant topics like perception, localization, planning and control. It takes a lot of time, but it is worth it.
I plan many threads on self-driving cars and how to get into the industry.
I will link all of the individual threads that will be focused on a particular topic below.

I recently gave a talk on AI for self-driving cars for a @DeepLearningAI_ Pie & AI event hosted by @Jeande_d. You can check out the recording on YouTube.
I will be posting threads summarizing the talk and link them below π
