- Autonomous driving research using CARLA and Amazon EC2
CARLA is a popular open-source simulator for autonomous driving research. The installation instructions I found always seemed to be geared towards running on an Ubuntu machine, which is unfortunate if you don’t have one. I wroteup a tutorial that lives on my GitHub repo, which will walk you through how to get CARLA running on a virtual machine on AWS. Once running, you’ll be able remote into the machine and experiment with your simulations. I ran my simulations on one of the Accelerated Computing Instances - a g4dn.xl
- but you can likely get this running on any of the instances types with the NVIDIA GPUs.
