Sensor synchronization example for CARLA
The communication model for the syncronous mode in CARLA sends the snapshot
of the world and the sensors streams in parallel.
We provide this script as an example of how to syncrononize the sensor
data gathering in the client.
To to this, we create a queue that is being filled by every sensor when the
client receives its data and the main loop is blocked until all the sensors
have received its data.
This suppose that all the sensors gather information at every tick. It this is
not the case, the clients needs to take in account at each frame how many
sensors are going to tick at each frame.
