This is essentially a bullshit FAFO project.
Objective

Convert a Powerwheels to Lithium-ion and make it AI powered.

The powerwheels will have a small AI minipc along with some lidar and camera sensors to essentially drive the powerwheels on it's own.
Proposed Hardware

Computation: Nvidia Jetson Nano
Codebase: Adaptation of Comma3x
Power: Lithium Ion Batteries (Dewalt 20v, 40v, or Milwakee 18v
Motors: 4 DC motors
Circuits needed: Charge controller, Power regulator, Throttle potentiometer, Some sort of remote connection for backup control.
Brakes: bicycle disk brakes
Other Components: Strengthened frame, steering, better wheels, and shifter (Speed controller)

I have no idea if this is going to work, but it would be cool.
