I've had a look at a few robot car kits, but they mostly use Arduino boards for the car's "brain". This time I'm using the far more powerful Raspberry Pi 4. Let's check out what that extra computational power can do.

This robot car was kindly supplied by SunFounder for review, so please use this (affiliate) link to check out their product in more detail https://www.sunfounder.com/products/picar-x?ref=nlrq3y-lbgm
