AWS DeepRacer Challenge
Calling all machine learning enthusiasts and racing fans! Put your reinforcement learning skills to the ultimate test with the AWS DeepRacer Challenge!
This exciting competition allows you to design and train autonomous racing models using Amazon SageMaker and then race your self-driving car on the AWS DeepRacer track at the AWS Summit Johannesburg. You'll have to fine-tune your models to master the turns as you compete against other racers, maximize speed on straightaways, and cross the finish line first. With prizes for the top racers, this is your chance to prove your AI skills and join the racing elite.
Buckle up and start training for a chance to win amazing prizes at the AWS Summit Johannesburg championship!
