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 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.
If you want to benchmark your model in the same conditions as in our CoRL’17 paper, check out Benchmarking.

Building CARLA
Use git clone
or download the project from this page. Note that the master branch contains the most recent release of CARLA with the latest fixes and features.
Then follow the instruction at How to build on Linux or How to build on Windows.
The Linux build needs for an UE patch to solve some visualization issues regarding Vulkan. Those already working with a Linux build should install the patch and make the UE build again using the following commands.
# Download and install the UE patch
cd ~/UnrealEngine_4.24
wget https://carla-releases.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/Linux/UE_Patch/430667-13636743-patch.txt ~/430667-13636743-patch.txt
patch --strip=4 < ~/430667-13636743-patch.txt
# Build UE
./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh && make
Unfortunately we don't have official instructions to build on Mac yet, please check the progress at issue #150.

CARLA Dependency and Integration licenses
The ad-rss-lib library compiled and linked by the RSS Integration build variant introduces LGPL-2.1-only License.
Unreal Engine 4 follows its own license terms.
CARLA uses three dependencies as part of the SUMO integration:
- PROJ, a generic coordinate transformation software which uses the X/MIT open source license.
- SQLite, part of the PROJ dependencies, which is in the public domain.
- Xerces-C, a validating XML parser, which is made available under the Apache Software License, Version 2.0.
CARLA uses one dependency as part of the Chrono integration:
- Eigen, a C++ template library for linear algebra which uses the MPL2 license.
CARLA uses the Autodesk FBX SDK for converting FBX to OBJ in the import process of maps. This step is optional, and the SDK is located here
