Needed: An open robocar driving simulator. Here's how.
Submitted by brad on Thu, 2010-03-11 11:53I was recently approached by a programmer named Keith Curtis, formerly at Microsoft and now a FOSS devotee. He wants to develop a driving simulator for testing robocar systems. I think this is a very worthwhile idea -- sort of a "Second Life" for robots. We have a head start -- the world of racecar video games has already done a lot of the legwork to simulate driving, and there are two open source car racing systems.
A good simulator would bring some tremendous benefits to robocar development.
