[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Autoware/Autoware Simulator Project] Simulation software requirements

[Dmitry Zelenkovsky via Discourse.ros.org]

We've been running CARLA to do comparison with LGSVL Simulator and there are few points worth mentioning:

* CARLA performance was very poor, it was impossible to run complete Autoware or Apollo setup with CARLA in real-time
* CARLA building and setup process was fairly complicated
* CARLA uses Unreal engine which prohibits any commercial usage without registering all the revenues and paying 5% https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/release Unreal keeps the right to perform audits to make sure agreement terms are followed. So it does not really matter if CARLA code is under MIT license.

I'm not sure having tutorials quick start guides with the simulator which is unable to run Autoware in real-time, difficult to setup and requires to pay 5% if you provide it to customers.
