Features

Data collection
Use the built-in camera to collect thousands of images as the training dataset

Model Training
Create a ML model that mimics your driving style

Autopilot
Let the ML model takes the wheel. Further improve the models by experimenting different ML techniques
What can you learn?

Fundamentals of Machine Learning
Supervised learning
Experiment data collection, training and test autopilot in 30 minutes
Reinforcement learning
Use a simulator and train a reinforcement learning agent, just like Google DeepMind trained Alpha Go
Python Programming
Learn Python programming by building additional capabilities on Donkey Car. Starting from simple tasks such as adding a simple line detector, lap timer to advanced functions like avoiding obstacles and detecting traffic signs.


Advanced Capabilities
Explore advanced capabilities developed by the community such as stop sign recognition, voice recognition and more
Social Impact
The emergence of artificial intelligence and self-driving car poses different impacts on society.
- Ethics: Accidents will be programmed into designated death in an inevitable situation
- Legal problem: Who is responsible when the car violates traffic rules?
- Social impact: Discussion on Universal Basic Salary, unemployment, transformation from car ownership to transport-as-a-service

Machine Learning with Donkey car

Visualize abstract machine learning concepts
Want to teach students machine learning theories but find them hard to explain? Get Donkey car to assist you in STEM learning activities. Donkey car helps students visualize complicated concepts and turns abstract ideas into something more real.
Hands-on experience in machine learning
Students can learn and perform practical techniques in different experiments through a hands-on and engaging experience.

It is very interesting that Donkey Car can drive autonomously after surrounding the place for around ten laps.
Introducing AI courses in schools is a relatively new idea and they are great to be included in the STEM curriculum.
