Welcome to VISTA’s documentation!¶
VISTA is a data-driven simulation engine for autonomous driving perception and control. The VISTA API provides an interface for transforming real-world datasets into virtual environments with dynamic agents, sensor suites, and task objectives.
All code is available on our github repository.
Installation¶
VISTA can be installed into your Python 3 environment using the PyPi package interface.
>> pip install vista
Please also ensure that you have all required dependencies to successfully run VISTA. Details on dependencies are outlined in Installation.
