Contribute to Donkey
Donkey is an open source project to help accelerate the development of self driving autos.
There is a very good explanation of the DonkeyCar software architecture and theory here
Guiding Development Principles
- Modularity: A self driving system is composed of standalone, independently configurable components that can be combined to make a car.
- Minimalism: Each component should be kept short (<100 lines of code). Each piece of code should be transparent upon first reading. No black magic, it slows the speed of innovation.
- Extensibility: New components should be simple to create by following a template.
- Python: Keep it simple.
These guidelines are nearly copied from Keras, because they are so good
Add a part
Are you a hardware specialist that can write a donkey part wrapper for a GPS unit or a data scientist that can write an recursive neural net autopilot? If so please write a part so other people driving donkeys can use the part. How do parts work? Check out this overview
Fix or report a bug
If you find a problem with the code and you know how to fix it then please clone the repo, make your fix, and submit your pull request.
