* [Code Documentation](http://docs.donkeycar.com)
* [Instructions to build a Donkey2 car.](http://www.donkeycar.com)

* Make an RC car drive its self.
* Compete in self driving races like [DIY Robocars](diyrobocars.com)
* Experiment with different driving methods.

* Log sensor data. (images, user inputs, sensor readings)
* Drive yoru car via a web or game controler.
* Leverage community contributed driving data.

```
Create a car folder.
```
donkey createcar --path ~/d2
