An open-source AI racing car project

Everything you need to build your own self driving platform for small scale cars with RaspberryPi, Python and deep learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow

How to get involved:
  •        • Join us on the Donkeycar Discord channel or Discourse forum
  •        • Build a Donkeycar using RaspberryPi and neural networks
  •        • Attend our San Francisco Bay Area race/hack days
  •        • Join one of the dozens of other Meetup groups near you
  •        • Buy a ready-to-run robocar

Just because these cars are small and inexpensive doesn’t mean that you can’t run real autonomous car software on them. Like their big brothers, they run ML/CV software, from PyTorch and TensorFlow to OpenCV. To keep costs down, they split their computational tasks between a Raspberry Pi onboard for real-time processing and cloud processing for offline training.
