It’s surprisingly fun and they serve an awesome BBQ lunch - both me and my 7 year old son enjoyed the program immensely -

Donkeycar neural network model visualization built to "see" how the AI sees.
Keep it up guys!
Great job man, great job!
It looks a lot like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Hoont-Blaster-Repellent-Activated-Spr...
But for humans.
From the Earth.
This is not to say that it's not admirable but I was not as impressed as I think I should be when someone is doing self driving.
The ML algorithm being used is called behavioral cloning (and it's cloning me). It's just that I am a pretty rusty RC car driver :)
Two questions to know a bit more:
- how long did it take you to complete that project?
- what is the rough total cost?
Note: I am not great with hardware.

Which books did you read and what was your experience with them?

No, it isn’t. If the track is concave, driving the convex closure of the track shortens the distance travelled, decreases the amount of turning to do, and no corner will become tighter. That must mean the convex closure is faster to ride.
I guess that’s why the red cones are there. Passing them on the wrong side must lead to a steep time penalty or immediate disqualification.
Also, I would think that, in a really tight turn, you would have to slow down so much to stay on the track that overshooting the turn without braking as much is faster (I think the video shows that in the last corner of the round, at the right edge of the video)
The second time was a breeze. Jetson Nano runs Ubuntu so getting everything to work was relatively easy.
