Donkeycar is a modular self-driving car platform built for hobbyists and researchers. It provides tools for training neural network controllers using Keras and TensorFlow, integrates computer vision via OpenCV, and includes a driving simulator for testing autopilots before hardware deployment. The platform runs on embedded devices like Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Nano, supporting end-to-end learning approaches where the model maps camera input directly to steering and throttle outputs.
