Setting up Autoware

Installation from source

Installing from source is currently unavailable. I have not had the chance to update the existing files to the newest autoware version

If using Docker/Rocker Container

1. Terminal command to run docker: `rocker --nvidia --x11 williamhecoin/blueice:v1.0'

Running the Co-Sim

1. Start Carla simulation
2. source install/setup.bash from both Autoware and this repo
3. run ros2 launch autoware_launch Bluebird_Carla.launch.xml map_path:=$HOME/autoware_map/ud-modular-lab vehicle_model:=sample_vehicle sensor_model:=sample_sensor_kit on the Autoware side
4. run ros2 run vehicle host_vehicle on this repo's side
5. You should see a RViz screen with a pointcloud map of the UD Modular Lab, Lanes, and Vehicle pointclouds
6. Use 2D pose in RViz to supply an initial position
7. Use 2D Goal Pose To supply a destination.
8. The vehicle should start moving as soon as a destination is given.

Known Bug

1. The vehicle should receive commands through /control/command/control_cmd, but it current receives control from /control/trajectory_follower/control_cmd
