This page documents an experiment in creating a self-driving vehicle using a budget-friendly approach. The creator purchased a 2016 Skoda Superb for £5,850 and installed a comma four autonomous driving system costing £942. The aim was to develop a DIY autonomous car that costs significantly less than Tesla's official "Full Self-Driving" upgrade, which is priced at over £6,800 for a new Model 3.
The project tests whether a modest investment in hardware can provide comparable autonomous driving capabilities to high-end systems. It explores the feasibility of converting a high-mileage used car into a self-driving vehicle, challenging the notion that advanced driving automation requires expensive, proprietary technology. This approach highlights an alternative path to affordable autonomous driving solutions for everyday drivers.
