So,

I want to apply for MIT and need something amazing to showoff.

So, I want to modify a go-cart to drive by itself through streets.

What software does Geohotzgaylord use for that?

If you're first idea is to ask /g/ for help on this I don't think MIT is gonna be right for you
>>
>>51964328
Oh FFS, just fuck off you arrogant cunt.

Again, I just want to know which software he is using. I am an idiot for not knowing, yes.

Go die in a hole.
>>
>>51964349
He wrote it himself, you literal reject. This is something you will never do.
>>
>>51964360
No you fucking moron, he didnt't. Like everything this kid ever did he stole it. There was a thread on here where they were discussing the software he copied.

Stop acting like you know shit when you obviously don't.

Fucking cum stain.

>>51964373
>there was a thread on here
That's where you went wrong, faggot.
>>
>>51964396
Oh yes, 4chan is filled with idiots and rejects. Sure. Just fuck off.

Your point is invalid, I proved that. So now go back to your hole.
>>
>>51964373
Alright, with this post this thread has now reached 3 total posters. That means you're the OP of the thread, which means that you already read the thread discussing the software that he copied. Did you already forget the contents of that thread? You are fucked, dude. You will never, ever get into MIT and even if you do by some miracle, you will fail the fuck out and eventually commit suicide out of shame.

>>51964373
Think about what is needed for a self driving car computer vision to see, machine learning to learn rules of the road, and obviously different sensors around the car to prevent a collision. Now search for that type of open source software.
>>
>>51964411
you're not gonna make it
>>
>>51964417
Thanks man, all the best to you to.

>>51964425
Well memed.

>>51964419
I know I can do that, I just wanted to know what he used.

It was a simple fucking question guys. Jesus. Stop being a bunch of judgemental pricks.

A good friend of mine is an admissions specialist at MIT. She told me that they don't just look for brains when looking through apps, they specifically look for people who have demonstrated that they are already using their abilities to help people. If the choice came down to someone with perfect grades and SAT scores but nothing else to show for it versus someone with lower grades and scores who has done a ton of community service projects and volunteer work, especially if it involves engineering, they'll admit the one with lower scores.

Some of the smartest people I know didn't get into MIT (or any of the big name science and engineering colleges really) because they do jack shit with their lives other than coding and playing video games.

And this being /g/ and have nothing to show off, I'm willing to bet you have little to no experience in that department.

Imitating him isn't going to win you points in the application process. It's more likely to lose you points since you're obviously trying too hard to capitalize on the publicity of geohotz. Think of something more original or humanitarian.

I actually do. Thanks for the post, I already knew this but it is nice to hear from a better source. Really, thanks.

>>51964457
Thanks, because I was totally going to copy everything he did.
>>
>>51964411
Not the guy who proved you wrong earlier.

If you can't even come up with how the theory behind the technology works (as in IR/US to detect objects, and then a shitload of other technology to predict movement etc), then you won't get into MIT.

>>51964457
What if he put a speaker on the Go-Kart that loudly announces the words "Black Lives Matter" on repeat as it speeds through the streets?
>>
>>51963889 you're not going to be accepted to MIT
>>
I feel for you OP. Good luck trying to get into MIT.
>>
OP is underaged
>>
>>51964477
That's why I said imitate. You didn't steal the source code and just say it was your own, but you didn't come up with the idea yourself. Maybe if you built this a month ago before geohotz, it would have looked nice.
>>
OP, go die in a hole. Write the code yourself or fuck off
>>
>>51964349
Here is the thing.
You wont be getting in,have a nice day.

He used software called "sckmidkfgt". Pretty much it was all pre built for him. He just stuck it in a breifcase and threw it in the front of the car. Also some nice m2f connector action on dat Acura.

Do that and the all mighty Elon Muskerooni will literally throw money your way.

P.s. you can download the software needed from TPB.

Good luck OP! MIT needs more innovative thinkers like yourself.

Thanks man! :)

HAHA Y U SO FUNNE?

kek says the guy posting here, enjoy your rejection letter

>>51963889
raspberry pi then install gentoo on it

did I do good, g?
>>
>>51964373

you're the one literally trying to steal it

anyways first of all a go kart is a terrible starting platform, they're designed to rev high and generally built to be mechanical for people. no matter how good your software is it's going to sound like a weedwhacker

an electric RC car is a better place to start, you can get one with a wide enough footprint to get a camera up about 4-5 which would be very necessary but even with a car 6+ feet in the air is ideal

second the software, there is none available. it won't be as simple as telling the software through it's nice and pretty gui that hey we drive on the right here's the servo for the gas and here's the one with the steering rack go wild

and writing it yourself is ludicrously difficult, i wrote a piece of software a few years back that tracked the center line and set the vehicle in the proper place about four feet to the right of it. it could barely follow a line in the road, let alone handle corners or anything like that

other people have already done this way better than you could

get a better idea

The car that he is using has lane assist built in, which is the only thing demonstrated in the video.

He's basically modding the built in software with some neural networks.

you really should find something that hasn't been done by many others already.
