Driverless cars: This online course will help you build one

Representational Image New Delhi : Self-driving car is trending these days. Auto lovers are in quest to learn about its making and the formula is on sell, just like hot cakes, in the big manufacturing houses. Indeed, the driverless car technology is becoming a most preferred career option for students today.

If you are interested, then go for a four-part online course on self-driving cars specialisation created by the University of Toronto (UoT). The course is now available to Indian users via the online learning platform, Coursera. The course is designed for learners who already have some engineering experience, but little to no formal training in self-driving technologies.

The driverless car making course would provide a detailed understanding of the architecture and components of a self-driving car software stack, methods for static and dynamic object detection including processing real-time data from sensors, estimating a car’s location, and issuing commands for vehicle control. By the end of the four-course specialisation, students will be able to drive a virtual car around a simulated racetrack.

As mentioned, the autonomous car manufacturing course has been sub-divided into four parts and the first part of this new online course has been launched on January 30. The subsequent courses will be rolled out in coming days.

Expert from the University of Toronto with 30 years of experience in autonomous robotics research, namely professor Steven Waslander and professor Jonathan Kelly will teach the students along with experts from leading companies like Oxbotica and Zoox.

Coursera and the University of Toronto will offer a series of advanced, hands-on simulation and programming assignments at an industry-leading price of $79 per month.

Experts predict that the market for self-driving cars will reach $42 billion by 2025 and that the demand for skilled workers within the autonomous vehicle industry will continue to climb, creating more than […]
