Self-parking car using genetic algorithm (2021)
Self-Parking Car in 500 Lines of Code28 September, 2021 TL;DR In this article, we'll train the car to do self-parking using a genetic algorithm. The simulator gives you the following opportunities: You may train the cars from scratch and adjust genetic parameters by yourself You may see the trained self-parking cars in action You may also try to park the car manually The genetic algorithm for this project is implemented in TypeScript. The full genetic source code will be shown in this article, but you may also find the final code examples in the Evolution Simulator repository.

Self-Parking Car in 500 Lines of Code28 September, 2021 TL;DR In this article, we'll train the car to do self-parking using a genetic algorithm. We'll create the 1st generation of cars with random genomes that will behave something like this: On the ≈40th generation the cars start learning what the self-parking is and start getting closer to the parking spot: Another example with a bit more challenging starting point: Yeah-yeah, the cars are hitting some other cars along the way, and also are not perfectly fitting the parking spot, but this is only the 40th generation since the creation of the world for them, so be merciful and give the cars some space to grow :D You may launch the 🚕 Self-parking Car Evolution Simulator to see the evolution process directly in your browser.
