# Project Yukart Overview

**The goal:** take the car's telemetry, add more of our own, and do the calculations off the car's
ECUs, so the results inform the **driver**. Yukart controls the driver's information, never the car
(architecture decision 31).

A Mitsubishi Z27AG Colt Ralliart, plus  

A Jetson Orin Nano that can:
- access LTE internet and GNSS via a... module  
  *as a fallback, internet can be provided by wifi tethering or usb tethering*
- read CAN traffic (via pcan_usb) and parse useful telemetry
- perform real-time voice synthesis using a [GPT-SoVITS](https://github.com/RVC-Boss/GPT-SoVITS) model (trained locally, runtime needs modifying)
- voice recognition with local `whisper`
- cloud LLM-based reasoning
- navigation capabilities using GCP APIs (or equivalent)
- vision via a USB camera (IMX662; on the car unit, roles and inference pending)
