AWS’ new DeepRacer Evo is an AI-powered model car with a serious mission
The new DeepRacer Evo model the Amazon.com Inc. subsidiary unveiled today enhances the original’s design with an extra lidar sensor and a pair of depth-sensing stereo cameras. It will become available in early 2020, along with a sensor kit that will enable developers to upgrade their existing cars.
“The added sensors will enable DeepRacer Evo to skillfully detect and respond to obstacles, including other DeepRacers,” Barr said. “This will help you to learn even more about the exciting field of reinforcement learning, which is ideal for use in autonomous driving.”
The cloud giant plans to up the number of in-person and virtual AWS DeepRacer League contests it holds worldwide to 54. In addition, AWS is adding two more race types: One will require participants to equip their cars with AI that can navigate around obstacles, while the other will pit DeepRacers against each other on the same track.
In conjunction, Deloitte Ltd. is launching a league of its own that will span 30 tracks in 17 countries.
