A ROS/ROS2 multi-robot simulator for autonomous vehicles, built on Unity HDRP for high-fidelity testing.
SVL Simulator is a high-fidelity, multi-robot simulator built for autonomous vehicle development. It enables developers to test and validate their autonomous driving algorithms in a realistic virtual environment, with out-of-the-box support for platforms like Apollo and Autoware.auto. The simulator focuses on providing a ready-to-use solution that reduces the need for custom integrations.
Autonomous vehicle developers, robotics researchers, and engineers working on self-driving car algorithms who need a realistic simulation environment for testing and validation.
Developers choose SVL Simulator for its high-fidelity graphics powered by Unity HDRP, native integration with major autonomous driving platforms, and multi-robot simulation capabilities. It offers an open-source alternative with community-driven development and collaborative potential.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Built on Unity's HDRP, providing realistic visual environments that are crucial for testing perception algorithms, as highlighted in the documentation.
Enables simulation of multiple autonomous vehicles simultaneously, allowing for complex scenario testing without physical prototypes.
Offers native integration with Apollo and Autoware.auto, reducing setup time and custom work for users of these frameworks.
Includes tools to create and use high-definition maps for precise localization and navigation, as mentioned in the key features.
Active development ceased in 2022, meaning no new features, bug fixes, or official support, which risks compatibility and security issues.
The latest release requires the WISE cloud service for asset downloads and simulation management, but this service is being phased out, potentially breaking functionality.
Recommends a high-performance desktop with specific GPU (e.g., GTX 1080), making it inaccessible for users with budget or older systems.
Only supports Apollo and Autoware.auto; with development stopped, integration with emerging platforms or frameworks is unlikely without community forks.
