INTRODUCTION

The following project is designed to showcase useful pieces of code that can interact with CARLA (Open-source simulator for autonomous driving research). The following codes are provided on this playground:

1. Show waypoints for a certain route that the car is following. Located in the file called show-route-path.py

Simulation Cases

The following codes are provided on this playground:

1. Show waypoints for a certain route that the car is following. Located in the file called show-route-path.py. This code is a Simple python code that uses CARLA to spawn a vehicle and show projections of the path/route the vehicle is taking. The vehicle is running in autopilot mode, so this basically shows the way points within a certain radius of the cars location. The output is as shown in the gif below:

Requirements

1. Latest CARLA simulator installed (tested on 0.9.12). Link for this release - CARLA 0.9.12 Release
2. Python 3.7
3. Additional requirements required by the CARLA installation

Usage

Running the CARLA server

$ CarlaUE4.exe -carla-server

Running the client side for Showing the route path

$ python show-route-path.py
