Tiny self driving vehicles could be fun and safe way to transport small things. Think an army of cleaning drones gatherings trash to a collection point.

That freaking awesome! I was thinking about making a self driving RC car with image recognition to hunt down some rabbits in my yard, maybe you can help me with that! Great job man, great job!

I've been thinking about the same thing but for deer. They keep eating my bushes in the middle of the night, so I'd like a little patrol car to chase them away.

If you have even a peripheral interest and are in the Bay Area come to the meetup / race referenced - all are welcome! It’s surprisingly fun and they serve an awesome BBQ lunch - both me and my 7 year old son enjoyed the program immensely - https://www.meetup.com/DIYRobocars/
