17-year-old uses deep learning to program AI cars that race around in your browser

Want to learn about deep learning neural networks, or simply want to try and crash an AI-powered car? You can do both with the "Self-Driving Cars In A Browser" project. German software engineer Jan Hünermann watches two autonomous cars -- one colored pink, the other turquoise -- race around a track. There are various obstacles set up to confound them, but thanks to the brain-inspired neural networks that provide them with their intelligence, the cars smoothly navigate these obstacles with the confidence of seasoned pros. From time to time, Hünermann throws a new obstacle in their path, and then watches with satisfaction as the cars dodge this new impediment.
