Objective : To make the concept of autonomous driving cars a real thing by providing cheap affordable and intelligent hardware upgrade that can convert a car to Level 4 autonomous car, to the people without the need for them to upgrade to a total new car. * Our Idea is to Build a portable Artificial INtelligence system that can talk to your car drive the car autonomously at Level 4, this device/system can be installed in particular variety of Benz Cars that have supporting hardware allowance. So this is how we are planning to build it : 1. We are going to first build a deep learning based Neural Network model containing convolutional and recurrent layers. 2. We are planning to train the above model using a virtual environment such as GTA 5 game, as it has more realistic game physics (For the Hackathon purpose, the same model can also be later trained in real-world environment). 3. The above neural network model will be hosted onto a raspberry pi, which has few slave microcontrollers that are going to mimic the real-world car dynamics. 4. Once our Artificial Intelligence Model is giving us proper/required accuracy, we are going to feed the visual data of a road scenario to the camera connected to our A.I's Brain(i.e Raspberry pi), then we can see the behaviour of the microcontrollers and the servos attached to them react/change according to what the camera is seeing.
