In this blog post, I will look at what makes physical AWS DeepRacer racing—a real car on a real track—different to racing in the virtual world—a model in a simulated 3D environment. I will cover the basics, the differences in virtual compared to physical, and what steps I have taken to get a deeper understanding of the challenge.

In 2018, I sat in the audience at AWS re:Invent as Andy Jassy announced AWS DeepRacer—a fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning. At the time, I knew little about AI or machine learning (ML). As an engineer transitioning from legacy networks to cloud technologies, I had never considered myself a developer. […]
