6. Learning
How Self
Driving Cars
Work
• Online Courses are nice, but working with
real cars is more fun
• Real cars are too expensive for makers
• Start with simulations and toys
(especially if you have kids)
• Find a group of co-learners
• You don‘t need to be TESLA in order to
create value from self driving vehicles

14. Control Car E2E by AI -
Behavior Cloning
• Human driver drives car around the track
• Car records
• images (inputs)
• steering and throttle commands from human driver
(label)
• AI is trained on images as input and steering angle
and throttle as labels
• Car predicts the steering angle and throttle

15. Collect labeled data from DonkeyCar
@MarkBroerkens
{
„user/throttle“: 0.3,
„user/angle“: 0.09504
}
22. Lessons
Learned
• It‘s fun
• We can already leverage existing
technologies for business. E.g.
• Manufacturing: Drive cars
autonomously from end of
production line to parking lot
(Kopernikus Automotive)
• Insurance: analyze driving
behaviour and provide ranking
for insurances (peregrine
technologies)
• Manufacturing / AGVs
