#### Use Donkey if you want to:
* Compete in self driving races like [DIY Robocars](http://diyrobocars.com)
* Experiment with different driving methods.
* Add parts and sensors to your car.
* Log sensor data. (images, user inputs, sensor readings)

### Getting started.
After building a Donkey2, here are the steps to start driving.
install donkey
```
pip install donkeycar
```
Create a car folder.
```
donkey createcar --path ~/d2
```
Start your car.
```
python ~/d2/manage.py drive
