    Autonomous driving has been seen as the next breakthrough in transportation. Autonomous vehicles employ a variety of sensors to understand their surroundings, for example multiple cameras, ultrasound sensors, and LiDARs. In this work, a much smaller scale radio-controlled cars, that only carry a central camera, are used. Their effectiveness as a test-bed for validating autonomous driving methods is evaluated. Multiple neural network architectures were proposed, among which a convolutional neural network was selected as the best candidate. The network was then trained using both supervised learning and online learning, the results of which were then compared. Experiments show that online learning in a physical environment, while costly, is a significant improvement over pure supervised learning. Additionally the radio-controlled cars proved to be a good comparative test-bed for evaluating model performance in an interactive physical environment.
