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.
Repositories associated to the CARLA simulation platform:

Use git clone or download the project from this page. Note that the master
branch contains the latest fixes and features, for the latest stable code may be
best to switch to the stable branch.
Then follow the instruction at How to build on Linux or How to build on Windows.
Unfortunately we don't have official instructions to build on Mac yet, please check the progress at issue #150.
