Abstract

An autonomous vehicle is a vehicle which requires no human intervention. Nowadays self-driving car industry playing a vital role in the market. In order to describe about the way how a car can be driven on its own, a driving simulator software is required. This paper focuses on various type of simulators like CARLA, TORCS, AirSim, etc.
