Powerful Features

Donkeycar provides a complete toolkit for building autonomous vehicles — from data collection to model deployment.

Autonomous Driving

Behavioral Cloning

Record your driving and train a neural network to mimic your behavior on the track.

End-to-End Learning

Raw camera images go in, steering and throttle commands come out. No hand-coded rules.

Real-Time Inference

Run trained models at 20+ FPS on edge devices for responsive autonomous control.

Machine Learning

TensorFlow & Keras

Build and train models using the industry-standard deep learning framework.

PyTorch Support

Use PyTorch for flexible model development and research experimentation.

Transfer Learning

Fine-tune pre-trained models to achieve better performance with less data.

Hardware & Platform

Raspberry Pi

Full support for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 with optimized camera and GPIO integration.

NVIDIA Jetson

GPU-accelerated inference on Jetson Nano and Orin for maximum performance.

Sensor Suite

Support for cameras, LIDAR, IMU, encoders, and ultrasonic distance sensors.
