TELECARLA is an extension of the CARLA simulator for teleoperated driving. We use GStreamer for compression and transmission of camera data. ROS acts as interface between our framework and CARLA.

- Create a workspace with e.g.
mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws_teleop/src && cd ~/catkin_ws_teleop/src
- Clone this repository into the workspace's
src
folder withgit clone https://github.com/hofbi/telecarla.git
- Run the install script:
./install.sh
- Build the workspace:
catkin build
- Source your workspace
