secret project!!

[majin]

After months of testing (and a slightly concerned look from my wallet), I’ve finally cracked it… I successfully converted my crawler to full self-driving AI mode AND integrated voice control. No transmitter. No inputs. Just vibes, bad decisions, and apparently now it listens better than my truck ever listened to my radio.

Running a custom setup using a Raspberry Pi, onboard gyro stabilization, and some very questionable code I definitely didn’t fully understand… plus I ditched LiPos entirely and switched over to a DeWalt battery for what I can only describe as “aggressively unnecessary torque.”

Current features include:

• Fully autonomous line selection (sometimes smarter than me, which hurts a little)
• Obstacle avoidance… unless it gets confident, then all bets are off
• Voice commands like “crawl,” “reverse,” and “don’t roll it” (success rate varies )
• Self-correcting when it screws up, which is more than I can say for myself
• Enough raw power from the DeWalt pack to probably tow my real truck if I gear it down enough

Took it out on the rocks today and I swear it chose a line I wouldn’t have even attempted… then immediately flipped on the next obstacle just to stay humble. At this point I’m not even driving anymore, I’m just emotional support for the rig.

Next step is teaching it how to win comps so I can sit in a lawn chair, yell commands at it, and pretend I did something. If this thing starts asking for updates or downloading new skills overnight, I’m unplugging it.

Anyone else messing with AI and voice control setups, or am I about to get a call from Skynet?

So cool!!!
Tell me you have a video of this thing!?!!!??

I've been using AI a lot over the last few years.
The division I work for pays for a few different versions so I would use them to put lessons together quickly because I was taking over a program with no information so if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have been nearly as productive.

I have also used it a lot with my YouTube channels for image generation, script help and video ideas.

You do have to be careful though, my friends son has been using it for cooking recipes and there has definitely been some misses lol

I don't think he proof reads it.

I don't think you're reading between the lines.
You know the date today right?
You sir, have won the internet today!
Most excellent idea though, how long before it's possible?
