Nice work. I worked on a similar project where I created an adaptive cruise control prototype. I used a camera and a CNN to determine the distance from the car ahead of my car. From there you can adjust your cruise control speed and hopefully maintain a set distance away.

There are clearly some ethical/safety issues with testing the entire thing at once while driving on the road. Some better applications would be an alert for following too close or drifting out of lane. Anyways, I find self driving cars exceptionally interesting and I liked reading your write up.

One problem I have with 'adaptive cruise control' in car is that it has no situational awareness. It constantly speeds up and slows down in heavy traffic highway situations, its quite jarring. What i want instead is integration with traffic situation and adapt the speed to that automatically os it doesn't zoom upto 75 mph and come to a stop.

Great project! It's really interesting that you relied solely on a regular camera for depth perception. Way less expensive than working with RGBD images.
