RxJS in the real world: State Management for a self-driving micro-car

Abstract

What happens when reactive programming leaves the browser and starts controlling a physical device?

In this talk, we’ll explore how RxJS can orchestrate real-time behavior in a small self-driving micro-car equipped with basic sensors and wireless communication.
We’ll stream proximity data, manage motor commands, and build autonomous features like collision detection and emergency braking, all powered by reactive streams.
Through live demos and practical examples, you’ll see how RxJS becomes a powerful tool for handling timing, events, and state in real-world systems far beyond traditional UIs.
