Why Take This Nanodegree Program?
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. This program is a fantastic introduction to the field of autonomous systems.
Researchers estimate driverless cars will save
10 million
lives per decade!
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 PYTHONWorking 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 CLASSC++ 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 PATHVisualizing 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 VISUALIZERMachine 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.
