Level 2 Autonomous Driving on a Single Device: Diving into the Devils of Openpilot
This repository is the PyTorch implementation for our Openpilot-Deepdive. In contrast to most traditional autonomous driving solutions where the perception, prediction, and planning module are apart, Openpilot uses an end-to-end neural network to predict the trajectory directly from the camera images, which is called Supercombo. We try to reimplement the training details and test the pipeline on public benchmarks. Experimental results of OP-Deepdive on nuScenes, Comma2k19, CARLA, and in-house realistic scenarios (collected in Shanghai) verify that a low-cost device can indeed achieve most L2 functionalities and be on par with the original Supercombo model. We also test on CommaTwo device with a dual-model deploeyment framework, which is in this repo: Openpilot-Deployment.

2022-6-17: We released the v1.0 code for Openpilot-Deepdive.
2022-6-26: We fix some problems and update the readme for using the code on bare-metal machines. Thanks @EliomEssaim and @MicroHest!
2022-7-13: We released the v1.0 code for Openpilot-Deployment for dual-model deployment in the Openpilot framework.
Before starting, we refer you to read the arXiv to understand the details of our work.

We train and evaluate our model on two datasets, nuScenes and Comma2k19. The table shows some key features of them.
| Dataset | Raw FPS (Hz) |
Aligned& FPS (Hz) |
Length Per Sequence (Frames/Second) |
Altogether Length (Minutes) |
Scenario | Locations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| nuScenes | 12 | 2 | 40 / 20 | 330 | Street | America Singapore |
| Comma2k19 | 20 | 20 | 1000 / 60 | 2000 | Highway | America |
Please create a data folder and create soft links to the datasets.
For dataset splits, you may create your own by running the scripts in the tools folder, or download it in https://github.com/OpenPerceptionX/Openpilot-Deepdive/issues/4.
By default, the batch size is set to be 6 per GPU, which consumes 27 GB GPU memory. When using 8 V100 GPUs, it takes approximate 120 hours to train 100 epochs on Comma2k19 dataset.
Note: Our lab use slurm to run and manage the tasks. Then, the PyTorch distributed training processes are initialized manually by slurm, since the automatic mp.spawn may cause unknown problems on slurm clusters. For most people who do not use a cluster, it's okay to launch the training process on bare-metal machines, but you will have to open multiple terminals and set some environmental variables manually if you want to use multiple GPUs. We will explain it below.
Warning: Since we have to extract all the frames from the video before sending them into the network, the program is hungry for memory. The actual memory usage is related to batch_size and n_workers. By default, each process with n_workers=4 and batch_size=6 consumes around 40 to 50 GB memory. You'd better open an htop to monitor the memory usage, before the machine hangs.
# Training on a slurm cluster
export DIST_PORT = 23333 # You may use whatever you want
export NUM_GPUS = 8
PORT=$DIST_PORT$ srun -p $PARTITION$ --job-name=openpilot -n $NUM_GPUS$ --gres=gpu:$NUM_GPUS$ --ntasks-per-node=$NUM_GPUS$ python main.py
# Training on a bare-metal machine with a single GPU
PORT=23333 SLURM_PROCID=0 SLURM_NTASKS=1 python main.py
# Training on a bare-metal machine with multiple GPUs
# You need to open multiple terminals
# Let's use 4 GPUs for example
# Terminal 1
PORT=23333 SLURM_PROCID=0 SLURM_NTASKS=4 python main.py
# Terminal 2
PORT=23333 SLURM_PROCID=1 SLURM_NTASKS=4 python main.py
# Terminal 3
PORT=23333 SLURM_PROCID=2 SLURM_NTASKS=4 python main.py
# Terminal 4
PORT=23333 SLURM_PROCID=3 SLURM_NTASKS=4 python main.py
# Then, the training process will start after all 4 processes are launched.
By default, the program will not output anything once the training process starts, for the widely-used tqdm might be buggy on slurm clusters. So, you may see some debugging info like the one below and the program seems to be stuck.

Don't worry, you can open a tensorboard to see the loss and validation curves.
tensorboard --logdir runs --bind_all
Otherwise, you may want to parse --tqdm=True to show the progress bar in Terminal 1.
By default, the test process will be executed once every epoch. So we did not implement the independent test script.
See more demo and test cases on our webpage！
You can generate your own demo video using demo.py. It will generate some frames in the ./vis folder. (You may have to create it first.) Then, you can generate a video using ffmpeg.
