The following project, as a part of CHI@Edge Education initiative, can act as a bridge between computer engineers and computer scientists (reflecting the difference between the software and hardware domains).
Building your own RC car or completely making a car from scratch with 3D-printing/DIY is beyond the scope of this educational module.
It can be used to introduce knowledge of both low-level hardware integration with software libraries and high-level machine learning implementations.
Estimated Time for Completion: 8-10 hoursGithub Link: for forking, asset viewing, and customization purposes
