Ap Racing

People learning AI today will make the biggest future impact in across industries, but our current education system isn't enough to support that future. That's why we've built AP Racing, so people can learn Machine Learning and ensure they grasp the subject by racing autonomous cars online.

A founding team with deep experience working in Machine Learning and autonomous vehicles.

We’ve built relationships and learned about the issues within education in the past 4 years.

We’re preparing America for an AI future by helping students become experts in autonomous vehicles.

If $65,000 is raised:

Education, engineering, and design: As we continue to build upon the education component, we'll need more help from industry professionals (AI and Education) with expanding the value it brings. We're also focused on iterating the web application and simulation software. We currently have a web developer working on the web app, but we'll need to hire one more developer to help with improving the simulation.    

Growth and marketing: We're running growth experiments weekly to understand best where to find effective leverage. We see our core features as the best lever right now, so we're coming up with ways to include growth as part of those features mentioned above. 

Legal and administrative operations. We'll be using software to help manage and automate these operations and need to ensure there are no disruptions with the services we use.

If $107,000 is raised:

Education, engineering, and design: At this target we'll expand the educational material and the simulation capabilities to accommodate additional classes of vehicles (1/4 and full size). This will aid in acquiring students with more advanced skill sets. Additionally, we'll be able to begin work on developing hardware templates for physical cars to make participation simpler for users.  

Growth and marketing:  We'll be more aggressive in these efforts by exploring other channels of growth such as paid acquisition.   

Legal and administrative operations: We'll be using software to help manage and automate these operations and need to ensure there are no disruptions with the services we use.
