An open-source driving simulator has been launched that automakers can use to test their autonomous vehicle technology in realistic environments. CARLA (Car Learning to Act) repeatedly retests vehicles against certain criteria, increasing the performance of the technology by forcing it to evaluate scenarios in different ways. The project is being led by Carnegie Mellon University and involves more than 100 researchers from around the world.
