Is there a way to construct an autonomous driving simulation environment with Automated Driving Toolbox where obstacle vehicles are also autonomous driving vehicles?

I need to collect natural driving data for research reason. However, I don't have a car or other needed equipment to conduct natural driving data with real car. So, I want to achieve this goal in a simulation way. In order to achieve high fidelity simulation, all vehicles in a scenario should be able to perform lane changing, car following and other behavior that human drivers are capable of. Is there a way to construct an autonomous driving simulation environment with Automated Driving Toolbox where obstacle vehicles are also autonomous driving vehicles?

Hey,

As per my understanding you wish to know if MATLAB Automated Driving Toolbox provides a solution to creating custom simulation environment for Autonomous driving testing, where the obstacles are also Autonomous Cars.

For the creation of custom simulation environment, MATLAB Automated Driving Toolbox provides two environments for scenario simulations, for your use case the preferred option would be using Unreal Engine from Epic Games. You can check both the options on Scenario Simulation.

As for spawning Autonomous car in the environment, MATLAB does not support such scenario as for now.

Hope this helps!
