IGVC Gem Simulator

Description

IGVC-Gem-Simulator is a lightweight simulation of basic vehicle dynamics and IGVC Self Drive competition scenarios. The primary motivation in creating this software is to facilitate training of a reinforcement agent which can perform the tasks of a driving agent in the competition. However, it could also be used to test a traditional driving agent algorithm.
