An open-source project that turns a hobby RC car into an autonomous self-driving vehicle using a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, camera, and ultrasonic sensor. A neural network trained with OpenCV runs on a host computer to predict steering from streamed camera images, with object detection for stop signs and traffic lights.

Use cases

• build a self-driving RC car
• train a neural network to predict steering from camera images
• stream video from Raspberry Pi to a computer over wifi
• detect stop signs and traffic lights with OpenCV
• learn robotics and machine learning with Raspberry Pi and Arduino
• control an RC car with a keyboard for data collection

When to choose

• you want a hands-on educational project combining computer vision, neural networks, and embedded hardware
• you already own a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and RC car and want to make it autonomous
• you want a reference implementation of image-based steering prediction with OpenCV

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade or actively maintained autonomous driving stack
• you want modern deep learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow instead of OpenCV's MLP
• you need support for new hardware or recent Python/OpenCV versions
• you expect polished documentation or community support
