Self-Driving Car Fundamentals: Featuring Apollo

Identify the key parts of self-driving cars, and get to know the Apollo team and architecture.

High-definition maps underpin almost every other part of the software stack. Learn how these maps work!

Learn how the vehicle localizes itself with single-digit-centimeter-level accuracy.

Identify different perception tasks such as classification, detection, and segmentation. Also, learn about convolutional neural networks, which are critical to perception.

Study different ways to predict how other vehicles or pedestrians might interact with Apollo self-driving cars.

Identify several different approaches Apollo uses to develop trajectories for autonomous vehicles.

Understand how to use steering, throttle, and brake to execute our planned trajectory and master different types of controllers in Apollo.

Congratulations on completing the course! Here, you'll receive some suggestions for future learning to pursue a self-driving car engineering career.
