Amazon's self-driving AI robo-car – THE TRUTH (it's a few inches in size) • The Register

It already has quite a few smart code confections: Rekognition, Lex, Polly, Transcribe, Comprehend, Translate, Sagemaker, and Greengrass, among others. At its re:Invent gathering in Las Vegas today, AWS threw a handful of new flavors into the mix, among them: Elastic Inference, SageMaker GroundTruth, SageMaker RL, Amazon SageMaker Neo, Personalize, Forecast, Textract, and Comprehend Medical. It also teased a machine-learning inference chip called Inferentia, and a small radio-controlled car called DeepRacer for executing autonomous driving models in the real-world and terrifying pets. It's a 1/18th scale race car that's ostensibly intended to help people understand and implement reinforcement learning. It may also help with customer acquisition, retention, and spending.
