CARLA Simulator
===============

CARLA is an open-source simulator for autonomous driving research. CARLA has
been developed from the ground up to support development, training, and
validation of autonomous urban driving systems. In addition to open-source code
and protocols, CARLA provides open digital assets (urban layouts, buildings,
vehicles) that were created for this purpose and can be used freely. The
simulation platform supports flexible specification of sensor suites and
environmental conditions.

CARLA uses free automotive materials from Epic Games. For compiling CARLA, these
materials must be downloaded from the UE4 marketplace and manually linked in
CARLA following the instructions provided in the documentation.

CARLA uses pedestrians created with Adobe Fuse, which is a free tool for that
purpose. Currently, we cannot redistribute these pedestrians models. They can
only be used in the provided executable.
