Abstract - For the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in self driving cars. This can be because of breakthroughs within the fieldofdeeplearningwhereverdeep neural networks square measuretrainedtoperformtasksthat generally need human intervention. CNN’s apply models to spot patterns and options in pictures, creating them helpful within the field of pc Vision. Samples of these square measure object detection, image classification, image captioning, etc. during this project, we've trainedaCNNvictimizationpictures captured by a simulated automotive to drive the automotive autonomously. The CNN learns distinctive options from the pictures and generates steering predictions permitting the automotive to drive while not somebody's. For testing functions and getting ready thedatasettheUnity basedmostly machine provided by Udacity was used.
