In the field of Autonomous Driving, several papers employ the game TORCS as a testing tool for research. TORCS, which stands for The Open Racing Car Simulator, has been cited over 20 times, and more than 300 papers have used the game for developing artificial intelligence algorithms.
TORCS was first released in 1997.
While TORCS is fine, we wanted a more modern simulation environment with realistic graphics and physics. After a few weeks of coding, we came up with europilot: an open source project that enables you to create self-driving trucks inside Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2).
