Today, we are inviting you to apply to enroll in our Self-Driving Car Nanodegree, a comprehensive curriculum led by Google Self-Driving Car (and Udacity) founder Sebastian Thrun. Head here to read more information and apply. Act fast, as there are only limited spots available!
Why do I believe this is Udacity’s biggest launch ever?
This isn’t your average online class! You will run your code on a real self-driving car (our Lincoln MKZ), and you will see (via livestream and a data feed) how it performs on a test track environment. This program is an interactive educational experience that you won’t find anywhere else on earth, with a price that’s less than one semester at many colleges.
You will learn the most modern techniques in autonomy, with the absolute best in the industry: deep learning, computer vision, sensor fusion, controllers, vehicle kinematics, automotive hardware and more. We have world-class autonomous vehicle engineers from Udacity, Mercedes-Benz, Otto, Nvidia and more contributing.
We are partnering with industry leaders from around the world to get students jobs in this insane growth industry (4 of the 10 largest companies in the world, and all major car manufacturers, are creating self-driving vehicles). The intellectual, ethical and product challenges this industry faces are in their infancy, and it will require an abundance of curious and talented engineers to bring autonomy to the mass-market. Be the first!
You are learning how to build an actual self-driving car. I cannot understate the immense feeling of awe and responsibility you’ll experience when you are controlling a 2 ton vehicle with a bunch of Ubuntu machines. There’s nothing like it, and we aim that each and every one of our students get to experience that career-defining moment.
We want to spark the mind who will help the transportation revolution, whether that person is in Spain, Mongolia, Brazil, the USA or anywhere. With Udacity having such a global reach, connecting curious and knowledgeable learners and mentors from around the world is what we do best. Help and guidance is always just a few minutes away, available from anywhere in the world.
Excited? We most certainly are! Apply today to be in the first cohort, and let me know what you think at [email protected]. Thanks for reading!
