About the Game

AI Learns To Drive is a sandbox where you build and train your own AI to drive a racing car. It uses a simple feed-forward neural network, trained with evolutionary algorithms.

Edit AI & Vehicle

  • Build the network: set layers and neurons.

  • Choose its inputs: vision rays, speed, acceleration, wheel angle, and many more.

  • Choose its outputs: steering, throttle, brakes, battery boost.

  • Pick a paint for your car.

Training

  • Evolve your driver over generations — the best agents become parents of the next.

  • Tune time limit, learning rate and agent count.

  • Mix reward functions to shape the behavior you want: fast racer, cautious driver, drift car.

Edit Tracks

  • Build your own tracks from asphalt, ice and dirt.

  • Add custom challenges to any track.

Races & Challenges

  • Race your networks against pre-trained opponents or each other.

  • Beat campaign challenges to earn stars and coins.

  • Unlock new inputs, outputs and paints.

Steam Workshop & Leaderboards

  • Upload your tracks, networks and races.

  • Play what other players built — and beat their records.

  • Chase world records on campaign and Workshop tracks.
