Udacity’s Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program is one of our flagship programs and has been instrumental in helping Udacity students land their dream jobs in autonomous driving.

To keep pace with changing self-driving car technology, we’ve released an update to the content. Udacity is excited to introduce the refreshed Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program within the School of Autonomous Systems.

Updates to this Nanodegree program include an updated tech stack that uses version 2.1 of TensorFlow, Open3D, and the Point Cloud Library (PCL).

Also new with this update, students will use the Waymo Open Dataset for multiple course projects. Finally, students will use a third-party simulator environment, CARLA, for testing self-driving cars.

The refreshed Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree program will prepare you to design and train autonomous vehicles. Skills that students who complete this Nanodegree program will have include training neural networks to classify images related to driving, correspond objects from images to lidar point clouds, train models to predict trajectory of objects, predict behavior of other objects in the vehicle’s environment, program a finite state machine to plan the vehicle’s motion, and implement a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller to use steering, acceleration, and brakes.
