Teaching Cars to Drive with Neuroevolution, Tensorflow, and 500 lines of Javascript

Neuroevolution is one of the most satisfying machine learning algorithms to build, tweak, and play around with. In today’s article we’ll be building our very own Neuroevolution algorithm to teach a population of cars how to successfully navigate through a race track.

We’ll be using P5.js for the graphics engine, Tensorflow to handle our neural networks, and Javascript to put it all together!

Let’s jump right in!
