Creating an OpenAI Gym-compatible CARLA driving simulator environment

CARLA is a driving simulator environment built on top of the UnrealEngine4 game engine with more realistic rendering compared to some of its competitors. You can read more about the CARLA simulator on their official website at https://carla.org. In this section, we will look into how we can create a custom OpenAI Gym-compatible car driving environment to train our learning agents. This is a fairly complex environment and requires a GPU to run—which is unlike other Gym environments we have seen so far. Once you understand how to create a custom environment interface that is Gym-compatible for CARLA, you may well have enough information to develop interfaces for any of your own custom environments, no matter how complex they might be.

The latest version of CARLA is CARLA 0.8.2. While most (if not all)...
