1. To participate, first please register by sending an email to ardi.tampuu@ut.ee.
2. As a next step you could take a look at the public dataset we have made available to all teams (cf. Data tab on the left)
3. Communication with the car is achieved via software provided by RCSnail, the documentation for controlling the car and a video explaining the steps are below.
In the lower part of the Documentation file you also see mentioned installation of RCSnail-AI-Lite. You can achieve control over the car by placing your image-to-commands processing in between the

and line 50: controls_queue.send_json(next_controls)
in the main.py of that repository. See more details in Data Recording, Windwos v. Linux and Example pages.
