• Abstract: The majority of road accidents occur because of human errors, including distraction, recklessness, and drunken driving. One of the effective ways to overcome this dangerous situation is by implementing self-driving technologies in vehicles. In this paper, we focus on building an efficient deep-learning model for self-driving cars. We propose a new and effective convolutional neural network model called `LaksNet' consisting of four convolutional layers and two fully connected layers. We conduct extensive experiments using our LaksNet model with the training data generated from the Udacity simulator. Our model outperforms many existing pre-trained ImageNet and NVIDIA models in terms of the duration of the car for which it drives without going off the track on the simulator.

  A world model is a neural network capable of predicting an agent's next state given past states and actions. During end-to-end training, our policy learns how to recover from errors by aligning with states observed in human demonstrations. We present qualitative and quantitative results, demonstrating significant improvements upon prior state of the art in closed-loop testing.

  We present a system that enables an autonomous small-scale RC car to drive aggressively from visual observations using reinforcement learning (RL) Our system, FastRLAP (faster lap), trains autonomously in the real world, without human interventions, and without requiring any simulation or expert demonstrations. The resulting policies exhibit emergent aggressive driving skills, such as timing braking and acceleration around turns and avoiding areas which impede the robot's motion, approaching the performance of a human driver using a similar first-person interface over the course of training.
