Usage

1. Clone this project.
2. Download Udacity Simulator for Term 1.
3. Record data using the simulator.
4. Train the model using recorded data.
5. Run the simulator in autonomous mode.
6. Drive the car using the trained model.

Cloning and initialization

git clone https://github.com/bakoushin/self-driving-car-javascript.git
cd self-driving-car-javascript
npm install

Note: the code in this project is expected to run on Node.js 12 or greater.

Training a model

node train.js [--data DATA_DIRECTORY] [--model [MODEL_DIRECTORY] [--epochs NUMBER_OF_EPOCHS]

# Example:

node train.js --data ~/Documents/track1 --epochs 3

Default values:

• data = 'data' directory within the project directory
• model = 'model' directory within the project directory
• epochs = 10

Driving a car

node drive.js [--model MODEL_DIRECTORY] [--speed SPEED_LIMIT]

# Example:

node drive.js --speed 20

Default values:

• model = 'model' directory within the project directory
• speed = 30
