Deprecated Repository

Udacity has launched a newer version of the associated Nanodegree program Self-Driving Car Engineer; as a result, the current repository is deprecated. We are no longer maintaining this repository and going to archive it. However, learners will be able to fork it to their personal Github account but cannot submit PRs to this repository. If you have any issues or suggestions to make, feel free to:

• Utilize the https://knowledge.udacity.com/ forum to seek help on content-specific issues.
• Submit a support ticket along with the link to your forked repository if (learners are) blocked for other reasons. You can find the link to file a support ticket in your classroom home.

This is the project repo for the final project of the Udacity Self-Driving Car Nanodegree: Programming a Real Self-Driving Car. For more information about the project, see the project introduction here.

Please use one of the two installation options, either native or docker installation.

Native Installation

• Be sure that your workstation is running Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus or Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahir. Ubuntu downloads can be found here.

• If using a Virtual Machine to install Ubuntu, use the following configuration as minimum:

  • 2 CPU
  • 2 GB system memory
  • 25 GB of free hard drive space

  The Udacity provided virtual machine has ROS and Dataspeed DBW already installed, so you can skip the next two steps if you are using this.

• Follow these instructions to install ROS

  • ROS Kinetic if you have Ubuntu 16.04.
  • ROS Indigo if you have Ubuntu 14.04.

• Download the Udacity Simulator.

• You can check the Udacity Similator repository here

Docker Installation

Install Docker

Build the docker container

docker build . -t capstone

Run the docker file

docker run -p 4567:4567 -v $PWD:/capstone -v /tmp/log:/root/.ros/ --rm -it capstone

Port Forwarding

To set up port forwarding, please refer to the "uWebSocketIO Starter Guide" found in the classroom (see Extended Kalman Filter Project lesson).

Usage

1. Clone the project repository

git clone https://github.com/udacity/CarND-Capstone.git

2. Install python dependencies

cd CarND-Capstone
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Make and run styx

cd ros
catkin_make
source devel/setup.sh
roslaunch launch/styx.launch

4. Run the simulator

Real world testing

1. Download training bag that was recorded on the Udacity self-driving car.
2. Unzip the file

unzip traffic_light_bag_file.zip

3. Play the bag file

rosbag play -l traffic_light_bag_file/traffic_light_training.bag

4. Launch your project in site mode

cd CarND-Capstone/ros
roslaunch launch/site.launch

5. Confirm that traffic light detection works on real life images

Other library/driver information

Outside of requirements.txt, here is information on other driver/library versions used in the simulator and Carla:

Specific to these libraries, the simulator grader and Carla use the following:

	Simulator	Carla
Nvidia driver	384.130	384.130
CUDA	8.0.61	8.0.61
cuDNN	6.0.21	6.0.21
TensorRT	N/A	N/A
OpenCV	3.2.0-dev	2.4.8
OpenMP	N/A	N/A

We are working on a fix to line up the OpenCV versions between the two.

Updating the instructions

Feel free to submit PRs or issues should you see a scope for improvement.
