Abstract
This research paper discusses the comprehensive exploration of adaptive and non-adaptive control systems utilizing Quanser's QCar platform. The study covers real-time computational capabilities, real-time computer vision techniques, and the educational potential of Quanser's QCar. The resulting systems – Adaptive Lane Following, Sign Detection, Traffic Light Detection, and Adaptive Cruise Control – showcase their effectiveness across diverse driving scenarios and environmental conditions. The research methodology involves distinct phases, starting with an Initial Onboarding Process. Familiarity with software platforms such as Simulink, ROS, Python, and more was essential. Understanding the QCar platform was facilitated through User Manuals and predeveloped Simulink documentation. In-depth studies in Autonomous Technology and Computer Vision informed system development. A structured approach encompassing Research, Planning, Development & Testing stages was followed. Research gathered insights from repositories, videos, research papers, and websites. This also involved creating final testing environments to simulate various lighting conditions which were called daytime, afternoon, and nighttime environments. This allowed for the QCar’s performance to be effectively evaluated and compared against each other. The Adaptive Lane Following system tackles fluctuating lighting conditions using adaptive thresholding for consistent lane tracking. The Sign Detection System identifies stop signs, serving as a foundation for more complex systems. The accurate Traffic Light Detection system enables safe navigation. The ACC and Object Detection system enhances QCar's safety in dynamic traffic. The study effectively combines theory with practical implementation, exploring both adaptive and non-adaptive control systems. The developed systems showcase capabilities across different scenarios. Additional potential research directions include Python threading, audio features, GPS Track Network, and ROS optimization. This research mainly contributes to educational autonomous vehicle innovation and development.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
