How I built my own Tesla-style self-driving AI | Transformer Lab

The moment I learned about the mechanics behind self-driving car technology, I was hooked. There’s a specific, geeky thrill that comes from realizing just how difficult and elegant this problem is—and I knew instantly that I had to try it for myself. Over the last few days, I finally carved out the time to dive in.

I'm sharing this project in the hopes that it helps other hackers trying to build their first self-driving pipeline using public data! Here are a couple of mind-bend
