About the Course

Welcome to Introduction to Self-Driving Cars, the first course in University of Toronto’s Self-Driving Cars Specialization. This course will introduce you to the terminology, design considerations and safety assessment of self-driving cars. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Understand commonly used hardware used for self-driving cars - Identify the main components of the self-driving software stack - Program vehicle modelling and control - Analyze the safety frameworks and current industry practices for vehicle development For the final project in this course, you will develop control code to navigate a self-driving car around a racetrack in the CARLA simulation environment. You will construct longitudinal and lateral dynamic models for a vehicle and create controllers that regulate speed and path tracking performance using Python. You’ll test the limits of your control design and learn the challenges inherent in driving at the limit of vehicle performance. This is an advanced course, intended for learners with a background in mechanical engineering, computer and electrical engineering, or robotics. To succeed in this course, you should have programming experience in Python 3.0, familiarity with Linear Algebra (matrices, vectors, matrix multiplication, rank, Eigenvalues and vectors and inverses), Statistics (Gaussian probability distributions), Calculus and Physics (forces, moments, inertia, Newton's Laws). You will also need certain hardware and software specifications in order to effectively run the CARLA simulator: Windows 7 64-bit (or later) or Ubuntu 16.04 (or later), Quad-core Intel or AMD processor (2.5 GHz or faster), NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX or AMD Radeon 6870 HD series card or higher, 8 GB RAM, and OpenGL 3 or greater (for Linux computers)....

This course is awesome ! This is one of the great courses for you who want to learn about self-driving cars for the first time. The assignments are challenging, especially the final project.

This course is outdated and requires some good updates in terms of assignments. Content is okay but not much engaging. If you are a complete beginner to the feild this course might help you get started.

Poorly designed and supported course. Very complicated material is intoduced in a series of short videos. And after bunch of them you are expected to combine all of this knowledge together to solve real (simulated) problem. Most of the time is spent with external references provided and in discussion forums. People who were helping with assignment explanation are the real heroes.

The overall quality is bad, lacks explanation, repeated useless intro music and introduction and summary takes quite time, which makes the already short video even less informative, the final assignment is already outdated and cannot run with the latest carla simulator, apparently no one is taking care of it.

This course is good for you if you already know the concepts and just want to review it. It's a terrible course if you don't know the concepts and want to learn from it. This is true for all courses in this specialization.

The course has the worst verification process it's just a waste of time, this ruins the entire experience of the user. Even after several tries I am unable to verify my account or receive the certificate.

I'm really disappointed! poorly commented code, using deprecated modules and not even one code example! I hope you try to change that.
