openpilot in simulator

Running the simulator

First, start the CARLA server.

./start_carla.sh

Then start bridge and openpilot.

./start_openpilot_docker.sh

To engage openpilot press 1 a few times while focused on bridge.py to increase the cruise speed.

Controls

You can control openpilot driving in the simulation with the following keys

key functionality
1 Cruise up 5 mph
2 Cruise down 5 mph
3 Cruise cancel
q Exit all

To see the options for changing the environment, such as the town, spawn point or precipitation, you can run ./start_openpilot_docker.sh --help. This will print the help output inside the docker container. You need to exit the docker container before running ./start_openpilot_docker.sh again.

System Requirements

openpilot doesn't have any extreme hardware requirements, however CARLA is very resource-intensive and may not run smoothly on your system. For this case, we have a low quality mode you can activate by running:

./start_openpilot_docker.sh --low_quality

NOTE: CARLA requires an NVIDIA graphics card.

You can also check out the CARLA python documentation to find more parameters to tune that might increase performance on your system
