SVL Simulator is a Unity-based multi-robot simulator for autonomous vehicles with ROS/ROS2 integration, sensor simulation, and Python APIs. LG suspended active development on January 1, 2022, and the project is no longer maintained.

Use cases

• simulate self-driving car sensors like lidar and cameras
• test autonomous driving stacks with ROS or ROS2
• generate synthetic training data for perception models
• run reinforcement learning experiments in driving scenarios
• validate Autoware or other AD software in simulation

When to choose

• you need a free open-source AV simulator with ROS integration and can build it yourself
• you are working with legacy Autoware or SVL-based research pipelines
• you want to fork and maintain a Unity-based driving simulator

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained simulator with support and updates
• you rely on the WISE cloud service, which has been shut down
• you want a supported alternative like CARLA or AirSim forks
