CARLA 0.8.1 Release

Posted by @nsubiron on April 05, 2018

We are releasing a quick fix of some of the issues reported, thank you guys for quickly spotting our mistakes ;)

Get CARLA 0.8.1

In this release, @felipecode also slipped a new Python script in for easily visualizing the start positions of the player vehicle, view_start_positions.py. It displays each start position in the map together with its index. This is the index that is passed to the simulator for choosing a particular start position. The script connects to a CARLA simulator instance and retrieves the start positions of the current map.

Start positions

You can also use it to display only a set of positions by specifying the list of indices in the command line with ./view_start_positions.py -pos 10,11,12.

New Features

  • New Python example for visualizing the player start positions

Fixes

  • Fixed box extent of non-player agents was sent in centimeters instead of meters
  • Fixed speed limits were sent in km/h instead of m/s
  • Fixed issue in Volkswagen van’s wheels causing it to overturn
