Intro to Self-Driving Cars

Brought by: Udacity

Overview

With just minimal programming experience, you can learn the essentials of building a self-driving car. You’ll discover how to solve problems in both Python and C++ as you explore what makes self-driving cars possible. Plus, graduates earn guaranteed admission into our career-ready Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program!
This introductory program is the perfect way to start your journey.

Syllabus

  • Bayesian Thinking
    • Learn the framework that underlies a self-driving car’s understanding of itself and the world around it, and to see the world the way a self-driving car does.
  • Working with Matrices
    • This course will focus on two tools which are vital to self-driving car engineers: object oriented programming and linear algebra.
  • C++ Basics
    • This course is the first step in a rewarding journey towards C++ expertise. The goal is translation: get a program written in Python, and translate it into C++.
  • Performance Programming in C++
    • Explore how to write good code that runs correctly. We’ll focus primarily on low level features of C++, but we’ll discuss other best practices as well.
  • Navigating Complex Data Structures
    • Algorithmic thinking is a skill you’ll refine throughout your career. In this course you’ll focus on frequently used data structures and algorithms.
  • Visualizing Calculus and Controls
    • In this course you’ll learn basic calculus—the mathematics of continuity. You’ll also learn to use some of Python’s most popular visualization libraries.
  • Machine Learning and Computer Vision
    • In this course you’ll learn how a computer sees an image, and how we can use machine learning to teach a computer to identify images programmatically.
