Be at the forefront of the autonomous driving industry. With market researchers predicting a $42-billion market and more than 20 million self-driving cars on the road by 2025, the next big job boom is right around the corner.

This Specialization gives you a comprehensive understanding of state-of-the-art engineering practices used in the self-driving car industry. You'll get to interact with real data sets from an autonomous vehicle (AV)―all through hands-on projects using the open source simulator CARLA.

Throughout your courses, you’ll hear from industry experts who work at companies like Oxbotica and Zoox as they share insights about autonomous technology and how that is powering job growth within the field.

You’ll learn from a highly realistic driving environment that features 3D pedestrian modelling and environmental conditions. When you complete the Specialization successfully, you’ll be able to build your own self-driving software stack and be ready to apply for jobs in the autonomous vehicle industry.

It is recommended that you have some background in linear algebra, probability, statistics, calculus, physics, control theory, and Python programming. You will need these 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).

State Estimation and Localization for Self-Driving Cars

(0 hours)
Welcome to State Estimation and Localization for Self-Driving Cars, the second course in the University of Toronto’s Self-Driving Cars Specialization. This course introduces the different sensors and their use for state estimation and localization in self-driving cars. By the end, you will be able to:

Visual Perception for Self-Driving Cars

(0 hours)
Visual Perception for Self-Driving Cars introduces the main perception tasks in autonomous driving, static and dynamic object detection, and surveys common computer vision methods for robotic perception. By the end of this course, you will be able to work with the pinhole camera model, perform intrinsic and extrinsic camera calibration, detect, describe and match image features and design your own convolutional neural networks.

Motion Planning for Self-Driving Cars

Welcome to Motion Planning for Self-Driving Cars, the fourth course in the Self-Driving Cars Specialization. This course introduces you to the main planning tasks in autonomous driving, including mission planning, behavior planning, and local planning.

Learning objectives

  • Understand the detailed architecture and components of a self-driving car software stack
  • Implement methods for static and dynamic object detection, localization and mapping, behaviour and maneuver planning, and vehicle control
  • Use realistic vehicle physics, complete sensor suite: camera, lidar, gps/ins, wheel odometry, depth map, semantic segmentation, object bounding boxes
  • Demonstrate skills in carla and build programs with python
