Self-driving-car-simulation-AI

First to install the required packages from the below command pip install requirements.txt

To run the program , run this command from the root directory python3 src/main.py

We have simulated a self driving car using NEAT algorithm

Challenges Faced

Reward Function

• Reward Function is based on the distance covered by the agent.
  • Oscillations
  • Vibration

Updated reward function:

• based on laps covered and distance travelled.

Performance

Elimination of Species

Reward Function

$$Reward = D + \sum_{each frame} L * Lap Reward $$
