Identify Cars Using Raspberry Pi Description The principle of operation: The car drives up to the gates. Camera reads the car plate numbers. Checks the read number with the database; if it finds one, then it opens the gate and lets the car pass. Each car at the gates is photographed, then a photo is …
Automakers continue to promise that fully autonomous cars are around the corner, but we’re still not quite there yet. However, there are a broad range of driver assist technologies that have come to market in recent years, with lane keeping assist being one of them. [raja_961] decided to implement this technology on an RC car, using …
