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!

AWS DeepRacer League FAQs

  • AWS DeepRacer is a 1/18th scale race car that gives you an interesting and fun way to get started with reinforcement learning (RL). With AWS DeepRacer, you now have a way to get hands-on with RL, experiment, and learn through autonomous driving. You can get started with the virtual car and tracks in the cloud-based 3D racing simulator. Read all the details about it here.

  • Once you have built your model, it’s time to race! The AWS DeepRacer League is the world’s first global autonomous racing league, open to anyone. Developers from around the world can compete for prizes, glory.

  • Enter the AWS DeepRacer League at the Deepracer track during AWS Summit New York. Top racers will receive prizes and the fastest racer will win a trip to compete in the AWS DeepRacer Championship Cup at AWS re:Invent 2023.
