Proceedings of Machine Learning SP - 1 EP - 16 VL - 78 KW - Autonomous driving KW - sensorimotor control KW - simulation N2 - We introduce CARLA, 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. We use CARLA to study the performance of three approaches to autonomous driving: a classic modular pipeline, an endto-endmodel trained via imitation learning, and an end-to-end model trained viareinforcement learning. The approaches are evaluated in controlled scenarios ofincreasing difficulty, and their performance is examined via metrics provided by CARLA, illustrating the platform’s utility for autonomous driving research.
