Jetson - Self-Driving Toy Car (Part: 1)

Car Assembly, System Design and Basic AI Autopilot Motion 🤖🚗

In today’s article, we are going to begin a self-driving toy car series. The first part of the series will cover the car assembly and basic AI autopilot motion. We are going to start building an end-to-end vision self-driving system which will leverage Robotics, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning. By the end of this article, you will be able to assemble a self-driving toy car, make it learn how to drive, and finally let it operate fully autonomously like in the below video!
