I am looking for autonomous software for my research project. I know some open-source software like Apollo and Autoware but I would like to know more about full self-driving commercial software. Do companies like Waymo, Cruise, and Tesla sell their AV software stacks? Does anyone have some suggestions? I mean a full platform, not just a few ADAS functionalities.

Before You choose a simulator, You must define your project's requirements. Some of the requirements are:
- Do You want to visualize your simulation? Are high quality graphics important for your project?
- Are you going to use Sensors to collect data from your environment or your project takes a more theoretical approach?
- In what language are You going to write your code? Also, in which platform you are going to run your simulator?
Anyway, there are a lot of AV simulators out there. Personally, My favourite is Carla simulator:
However, If you are a researcher You can also download NVIDIA Drive Sim. This one is also used by many automotive industries:

Also, many papers about Autonomous Vehicles use Eclipse SUMO to test their algorithms:
You can check all of them and see which one of those covers your project requirements.
