Meet BearCar
BearCar is an open-source self-driving platform. It is designed for educational purposes with emphases on robotics, and autonomous driving powered by AI (behavioral-cloning). It customizes an off-the-shelf toy RC car into a full autonomous driving robot. It features Raspberry Pi family products, including a Raspberry Pi (5) computer making plans, and a Raspberry Pi Pico (2) microcontroller executing the plans. All the software is developed in Python.
