There will be 3 main modules:

• Driving
• Vision
• World Simulator

Driving

Driving module will use an interface like this of Torcs:

• Input: high level information from the Vision and world simulator.
• Output: high level orders to the simulator (which may be replaced by a real car).

Vision

Vision module I/O:

• Input: screenshot of the world (real or virtual).
• Output: object geometry, etc. and other information necessary to the AI.

World Simulator

World simulator I/O:

• Input: Progression of time, instructions to the car
• Output: visual output for the user, screenshots for vision module, APIs to find out where stuff actually is. A warning when our car has "crashed", which means there is a bug in the vision or driving logic.
