4. Course Q&A roundup

Q1. How do I set the ID number returned by face recognition, and how do I know which ID belongs to which face?

Q2. How are the RFID blocks used?

A2. See the article “MoonCar Upgrade! Combining HuskyLens for AI Image Recognition (Part 2)” for a tutorial.

Q3. Are there different versions of our MoonCar?
