Abstract: The solution presented in this paper demonstrates that even a simple three layers deep, fully connected neural network has the capacity to learn relatively complex tasks as lane keeping and steering a model vehicle by just observing the images from the front facing QVGA camera.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, neural network, autonomous vehicle, computer vision, robotics.
