  • I have a kit very similar to this sunfounder picar I built a couple years back, maybe something like this? You’ll need a raspberry pi for it, but no soldering or anything like that is necessary.

    It does support AI, though I’ve only used the OpenCV abstractions - it’s up to you how much you want to integrate. The motors and sensors are adequate, it has no problems moving under its own force. The included test tools use a web interface, you can build additional functions on those for “desktop” support. And it supports Python or Scratch but I’ve never personally tried the scratch side of things.

    Edit - I found an article that goes into more detail around building and programming experience of this specific model.


  • Nah, most brands have customers that treat their car like an appliance. They aren’t interested in a shared culture around their car. Jeep specifically cultivated that culture through “its a jeep thing” advertising, and it’s since taken on life of its own. Some other ones I’ve seen though

    VW owners will throw up peace signs to other owners. Especially popular with Beetle drivers.

    Mini cooper owners act like golden retrievers and start flashing their lights and wiggling the car when they see each other.

    Subaru WRX/STI owners leave each other little bottles of vape juice
