Self-driving RC car

Self driving remote controlled car built from scratch with duct tape & soldering iron.

With RC car from Amazon, I put together a simple circuit on a breadboard to connect Raspberry Pi and car’s DC motors by soldering components together. After that, I made the car to be drivable from a simple web client, with camera and ultrasonic sensor streaming data. Subsequently, I wrote a lane detection algorithm, then put a CNN in place that was learning from the camera feed, with overall learning process relying on a basic CML algorithm.
