simulator

Why we included this project

Teams validating self-driving stacks need a realistic environment before touching hardware, and SVL Simulator provides that on the Unity engine. It renders photorealistic city maps, lets you attach virtual cameras, LiDAR, and other sensors to ego vehicles, and lets you drive them through scripted traffic, pedestrians, and edge-case scenarios. The built-in Apollo and Autoware integrations, plus a ROS/ROS2 interface, mean your own perception, planning, and control code can run software-in-the-loop against virtual ground truth. You can also use the same setup to generate labeled synthetic driving data for training computer-vision models. Be aware that LG suspended active development in early 2022, so this is best treated as a mature reference implementation rather than an actively maintained project.
