CARLA Interface

The carla-interface image packages autoware_carla_interface, translating Autoware control commands to CARLA and CARLA sensor data to ROS 2 messages.

Platform support

The image is published for amd64 on Humble and Jazzy. The CARLA deployment is Humble-only. The bridge itself does not require a GPU, but the complete CARLA deployment needs an NVIDIA GPU for the CARLA server and defaults to the amd64 sensing-perception-cuda Autoware image for perception.

It provides:

• CARLA world initialization and synchronous simulation
• Ego vehicle spawning and sensor-kit configuration
• Camera, LiDAR, IMU, and GNSS message translation
• Vehicle command calibration
• Traffic light state publication
• Lightweight sensor mappings for constrained hosts
• Launch file: autoware_carla_interface.launch.xml

See the CARLA Simulation deployment for openadkit run carla-simulation --gpu.
