This paper explores the integration of CARLA, an open-source simulator, with Autoware, open-source software for autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, to create a comprehensive virtual testing environment. This integration enables safe and cost-effective testing of AV reactions to dynamic, real-world scenarios with unpredictable factors and changing environments. We simulate a variety of scenarios, from city traffic to severe weather, using CARLA 0.9.15 and Autoware 2204.01, which are linked via an ROS-based bridge, and use AV sensors like as LIDAR, cameras, and radar to mirror real-world configurations. Performance metrics are collected and analysed to determine system strengths and limitations. The findings show that CARLA and Autoware integration provides a strong platform for end-to-end AV simulations, which is critical for developing safe, compliant, and efficient autonomous transportation systems.
