Getting Started

Setup

The easiest way to install the API is via pip by running the following command:

pip install av2

Datasets

The Argoverse 2 family consists of four distinct datasets:

Dataset Name	Scenarios	Camera Imagery	Lidar	Maps	Additional Information
Sensor	1,000	✅	✅	✅	Sensor Dataset README
Lidar	20,000		✅	✅	Lidar Dataset README
Motion Forecasting	250,000			✅	Motion Forecasting Dataset README
Map Change (Trust, but Verify)	1,045	✅	✅	✅	Map Change Dataset README

Please see DOWNLOAD.md for detailed instructions on how to download each dataset.
