## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 10/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3622, "days_push": 1742, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases, archived, no_license
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Udacity's open-source self-driving car project, containing deep learning steering models, ROS nodes, and over 10 hours of annotated driving data (LIDAR, camera frames). It accompanied the Self-Driving Car Nanodegree program and is now deprecated.

## Use cases
- download labeled driving datasets for autonomous vehicle research
- train a neural network to predict steering angles from camera images
- learn how deep learning models integrate with ROS
- study self-driving car engineering with real sensor data
- find open data for LIDAR and camera-based perception research

## When to choose
- you need real-world annotated driving data for research or model training
- you want to study or reproduce Udacity's deep learning steering models
- you're learning autonomous vehicle concepts with concrete examples

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, production-ready autonomous driving stack
- you expect community support or merged pull requests - the repo is deprecated
- you need a complete, runnable self-driving car system rather than datasets and models

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: abandoned
- function: machine-learning, deep-learning, computer-vision, data-science
- domain: autonomous-vehicles, machine-learning, robotics, education
- platform: python
- tags: self-driving-car, autonomous-driving, driving-datasets, steering-models, lidar, ros, jupyter-notebooks, deprecated, linux
