It can also stream the video back to my computer so people on the stream can see where the car is going.

I used a Rapsberry Pi (and a lot of Dynamixel servos, LiPo, gyro, etc) to build a small hexapod robot. I was mostly interested in learning about legged locomotion, and got a bit carried away. Using a normal-ish Linux platform with GPIO and USB devices made it really easy (and fun) to hack everything together. https://github.com/adammck/hexapod
Me and My brother made a strobe light based on a Nature paper to attempt to treat my Uncle for Alzheimers. See http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v540/n7632/full/nature2...

What language did you end up using to access the sensors? I've been ~hoping~ to use Go to access the GPIO pins, but haven't had much success - any suggestions?
I've used https://github.com/stianeikeland/go-rpio to control my garage doors and this library https://github.com/kidoman/embd has some more advanced features which I've used for a thermostat solution.
I use Octopi to control my 3d printer: https://octopi.octoprint.org/
And I've started experimenting with different sensors using Golang and embd: https://github.com/kidoman/embd

Will this have the ability to replace an Alexa in terms of smart home integration/automation?
This is what we want to build !
I've built my home automation setup around Raspberry Pis. I have an old Nexus7 tablet mounted on the wall (3D printed wall mount which incorporates a wireless charging coil) which hits the web UI of NodeRED running on a Pi to provide a 'home control panel'. There's a pi with a heap of relays which controls things like my garden lights, sprinklers, motorised curtains (3D printed adapters to convert standard curtain tr…
I've a few simple projects around the house 1. I've a python script that sends bluetooth LE commands to my ceiling fan & lights. Ceiling fan has got a bluetooth LE remote you get from Lowes. Then used ha-bridge to simulate Philips hue, so now I can control the lights & fan using Alexa. Built it to turn lights no/off with my new born daughter in hand. And since about 5 months of age, every time anyone says the word Al…
Cool ! If you want more privacy around your kid than streaming what she is saying to Amazon with Alexa, you can use the platform we are building at https://snips.ai , it is free and will be open-source too!
A friend and I put together a free dynamic DNS service [1] offering cool custom domains aimed at the Raspberry Pi community (and similar hardware hackers.) It's not strictly a hardware project, but it's a crucial building block for any network-enabled Raspberry Pi project, and we'd love your feedback. [1]: https://www.legitdns.com
