QLabs Virtual QCar 2
Safely develop and validate your self-driving algorithms in virtual worlds
The Quanser Virtual QCar 2 is a fully instrumented, dynamically accurate digital twin of the physical QCar 2 1/10 scale self-driving car. It behaves the same way as the physical hardware and can be measured and controlled using MATLAB Simulink® or Python development environments. It can enrich your lectures and activities in traditional labs, or bring credible, authentic model-based lab experiences into your distance and online self-driving courses.
Same as the physical Qcar, the virtual system is a self-driving teaching and research platform complete with industrially relevant sensors such as LiDAR, 360° CSI cameras, an RGB-D camera, and inertial and odometric sensors.
