Autonomous Driving Simulator
Open source based autonomous vehicle simulation platformSimulation Software to Accelerate Safe Autonomous Vehicle Development
The LG Autonomous Driving (AD) Simulator is a simulator that facilitates testing and development of autonomous driving software systems. It enables developers to simulate billions of miles and arbitrary edge case scenarios to speed up algorithm development and system integration.
By utilizing the LG AD simulator in their testing pipeline, companies developing AD systems can focus on their own development, reduce costs, and ensure much wider test coverage.
Key Features
Photorealistic Simulation with Unity HDRP
Simulate with photorealistic digital twins of real-world environments with accurate vehicle and sensor models to train autonomous vehicles across multiple scenarios. The simulator is based on Unity’s High-Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) that offers a high-fidelity 3D environment.
Extensibility and Plugin Support
LG AD Simulator enables extensible plugin functionalities, enabling autonomous vehicle developers to customize and build on top of the simulation platform to match their needs.
Open Source Automotive Simulation Platform Support
LG AD Simulator is fully integrated with open source platforms for automotive simulation such as Apollo, Autoware, and ROS/ROS2. Developers working on such open source platforms can simply download our latest binaries and run the simulator to test their algorithms.
Deterministic Physics Simulation
It would be cumbersome to analyze your data if you get different test results each time you run a simulation. LG AD Simulator ensures deterministic physics simulation; the simulation produces the same result or the same physical behavior if conducted under the same configuration.
Benefits
Focus on Your own Development
LG AD Simulator offers an out-of-the-box experience that developers can easily integrate the simulator and kick-start their autonomous vehicle development. The simulator is an end-to-end system that is equipped with a full software stack for autonomous driving simulation.
Save Your Time and Cost for AD System Development
LG AD Simulator is an open source platform that can be immediately used for testing and validation of your own algorithms with little custom integration. The simulator is fully compatible with other famous autonomous driving open source platforms such as Autoware and Apollo. Developers working on such platforms can easily migrate to our platform.
Premium Features for Commercial Service
LG AD Simulator aims to position as an industry de facto AD simulator based on open source project. We also offer premium features for commercial service customers that further assist their autonomous vehicle development. Some of the key premium features are: Digital twin generation, Re-simulation and test scenario generation, Cloud simulation. Premium Service is expected to launch in July 2020.
Use Cases
Customer Segment
AD Testing & Validation (HIL, VIL)
Complex and real-time systems can be tested and validated through HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) and VIL (vehicle-in-the-loop) simulations with AD Simulator.
Log Replay from the Field
AD systems can greatly benefit from the log replay feature in their development. By replaying the logs from the field, developers can retrieve crucial data that could have been otherwise lost.
Mobility Service
MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) companies can rely on AD Simulator to assess their fleet management system. Multiple instances of vehicles can be simulated simultaneously by using Unity’s advanced feature incorporated in AD Simulator.
Sensor Design & Testing
Sensor HW platform developers can use AD Simulator for their sensor design and testing.
SoC Design & Testing
SoC HW platform developers can use AD Simulator for their SoC design and testing.
