Groundbreaking Curriculum
Sebastian Thrun and the Udacity Self-Driving Car team are pioneering educators in this field, and Udacity offers the only program of its kind, where you can learn to be a self-driving car engineer.
Minimal programming experience required
Anyone with minimal programming experience can learn the essentials of building a self-driving car. You will learn how to solve problems in both Python and C++ as you discover what makes self-driving cars possible.
What You Will Learn
SYLLABUS
Intro to Self-Driving Cars
In this program, you’ll sharpen your Python skills, apply C++, apply matrices and calculus in code, and touch on computer vision and machine learning. These concepts will be applied to solving self-driving car problems. At the end, you’ll be ready for our Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program!
4 months to complete
PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE
You should be comfortable reading and modifying code. You should also be comfortable with basic algebra.See detailed requirements.
• 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.
JOY RIDE2D HISTOGRAM FILTER IN PYTHON
• Working with Matrices
This course will focus on two tools which are vital to self-driving car engineers: object oriented programming and linear algebra.
IMPLEMENT A MATRIX CLASS
• 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++.
TRANSLATE PYTHON TO 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.
PERFORMANT C++
• 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.
PLANNING AN OPTIMAL PATH
• 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.
TRAJECTORY VISUALIZER
• 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.
