Does automatic_control.py use autopilot? what kind of autonomous driving algorithm does it use?

Zhenlin-Xu commented 6 months ago

I recommend you check the directory carla/PythonAPI/carla/agents/navigation. It includes 3 types of agent behaviors, a global planner and a local PID controller.

I don't find the word autopilot in the python files in this directory.

Hope that is helpful to you.

Basically, it's an example pie game where you can run a self-driving simulation with the carla.agent module. You can modify the code in that example or configure self-driving while utilizing the agent module. Using the A* algorithm of the path search algorithm, it generates a set of shortest distance waypoints to the destination. A set of waypoints is a set of shortest paths.
