DIY Self-Driving - A night out!

Please Note:   Unlike most of my projects which are fully complete before they are published, this project is as much a build diary as anything else.  Whilst I am attempting to clearly document the processes, this is not a step-by-step guide, and later articles may well contradict earlier instructions. If you decide you want to duplicate my build, please read through all the relevant articles before you start. Well, we made it... The car is a very long way from being finished, but it's official debut at Sydney's Darling Harbour coincided with Amazon Web Services AWS Summit for 2018 so I had to take advantage of that as well. This is a collection of photos from the big night out before we go back to the hard work again.  

DIY Self-Driving. Part 8 - Testing

Waiting for "Go" Please Note:   Unlike most of my projects which are fully complete before they are published, this project is as much a build diary as anything else.  Whilst I am attempting to clearly document the processes, this is not a step-by-step guide, and later articles may well contradict earlier instructions. If you decide you want to duplicate my build, please read through all the relevant articles before you start. The car is finally built, and it is sitting out on the pathway ready to show the world what you can do.  So of course it's going to work right.  Isn't it? I don't really know how to break this to you but chances are it won't work right the first time.  This is not because you are no good at making things or the software could never have worked, it is because there are so many variables which you could not have dealt with during the build.  Don't give up hope because the platform will work for you eventually.
