Amazon has been selling it's self-driving AWS Deep Racer car[1] and has been promoting race tournaments for a while now.
Has anyone got that? Is it worth the price to test self-driving algorithms in the hopes of making it to the full sized vehicle one day or is it best we make our own self-driving toy card with Nvidia Jetson?

- lacker 6y agoI personally don’t but there’s a DIY robocars event near me where people compete in races using little self driving cars. Some people were using the AWS one but more popular in the “stock” division was the Donkeycar - https://diyrobocars.com/ https://diyrobocars.com/ https://github.com/autorope/donkeycar https://github.com/autorope/donkeycar I haven’t made one, I just go with my kids to show them how cool it is to be an engineer, but Donkeycar seems popular and performs well in the contests.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoThank you, donkey cars seems to be very approachable.
- dominotw 6y agoI want to but seems too expensive. I am not too interested in assembling a 'donkey car' either, just want to play with software for now.
- michaelt 6y agoMany robot competitions include a simulation league, where people who don't want to buy physical hardware can compete with a simulation of it. And being simulated means you never have a flat battery, and you can single-step your control code without hitting into something :)
