TerraZero: Procedural Driving Simulation for Zero-Demonstration Self-Play at Scale
Training robust autonomous driving agents requires a simulator that is fast enough for reinforcement learning at scale, realistic enough to ground behavior in real-world map structure, and diverse enough to cover the safety-critical long tail that logged data rarely contains. We present TerraZero, a procedural driving simulator and self-play training stack. A configurable C engine runs simulation on the CPU and policy inference on the GPU over a zero-copy path, sustaining 1.3M agent-steps per second on a single server-grade GPU, far faster than existing object-level simulators, while keeping f
