Why AWS is building tiny AI race cars to teach machine learning – TechCrunch

It comes with all of the sensors and software tools to help developers build machine learning models to drive the car around a course -- or really do anything else they want it to do. The $399 DeepRacer launched at AWS's massive re:Invent show in late 2018. At the time, it seemed like a bit of a gimmick, but AWS has put a lot of its weight behind it and is currently running a DeepRacer league at its various events around the world. At these events, developers can pit their models against each other and learn more about building a specific kind of machine learning model in the process. It's not like DeepRacer cars are likely to add to AWS's bottom line anytime soon.
