This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://community.robotshop.com/robots/show/raspberry-pi-self-driving-car-donkeycar

If you’re building a Raspberry Pi self-driving car with DonkeyCar, the key points are:

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB recommended) + compatible motor controller, camera, and servo for steering.

Software: DonkeyCar Python library handles data collection, model training, and autonomous driving.

Training: Use recorded driving data to train a neural network for steering and throttle control.

Testing: Start in a safe, controlled environment and gradually increase track complexity.

Make sure you follow DonkeyCar’s documentation closely, especially for wiring, camera calibration, and model deployment — it’s critical for a stable self-driving experience.
