Highlights:
Build & Code Your Own AI Self-driving car!
Wheelson is a small DIY self-driving car that uses electromotors and microcomputers to autonomously navigate while driving.
How it Works?
- Assemble your own autonomous vehicle
- Take it for a test drive
- Enable autonomous driving mode
- Code your own program for Wheelson
Small But Powerful
Although electric cars are still a relatively new technology, Wheelson has already created a small but powerful self-driving car that can be built and programmed by individuals. This DIY car uses electromotors and microcomputers to navigate autonomously, allowing drivers to explore the full potential of electric and self-driving technology.
Never Loses a Sense
Detect traffic lights, measure the distance, track other vehicles, read QR codes and look for pedestrians.
With lidar sensors, thermal cameras, and HDR sensors, your autonomous car will never know of a bumpy ride.
Robot Car Toy with Super Vision
Discover Wheelsons computer vision - an algorithm that determines a specific action based on a camera's video feed.
With machine learning, this car detects its surroundings even in the dark.
For extra fun, pair and navigate it with ByteBoi!*
