Data collection

In this section, we will download the simulator that will enable us to begin our behavioral cloning process. We're going to start by driving the car through the simulator using our keyboard keys. That way, we're able to train a convolutional neural network to monitor the controlled operation and movement of the vehicle. Depending on how you're driving, it copies your behavior to then drive on its own in Autonomous mode. How well the neural network drives the car is determined by how well you're able to drive the car in the simulator.

We'll be using the following simulator, which is open source and available on GitHub. You can find it at https://github.com/udacity/self-driving-car-sim. There are other simulators that you can make use of, such as AirSim (https://github.com/microsoft/AirSim), which is another open source SDC simulator that's based on Unreal Engine.

We have two versions of the simulator, but we will go with...
