Description
Build a Self-Driving Car with Deep Learning—No Car Required
Imagine training a neural network to drive like a human—steering through curves, staying in lanes, and reacting to road signs—all in simulation. This course takes you from zero to building a fully functional self-driving car system using Python, OpenCV, and deep learning, just like the early prototypes from Tesla and Waymo.
What You’ll Build
- Lane detection pipeline using computer vision (color filtering, edge detection, Hough transforms)
- Behavioral cloning model that learns driving behavior from human demonstrations
- Deep neural network that predicts steering angles from camera input
- Road sign classifier using convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
- End-to-end driving AI trained in a simulated environment
Key Technologies You’ll Master
- OpenCV for real-time image processing
- Keras/TensorFlow for building and training CNNs
- Data augmentation to prevent overfitting on limited driving data
- Polynomial regression for lane curvature estimation
- Simulator integration using Udacity’s open-source self-driving car simulator
Why This Project Stands Out
Unlike toy MNIST projects, this course uses real-world sensor data—camera images, steering angles, speed logs—mirroring actual autonomous vehicle pipelines. You’ll deal with noisy data, camera calibration, and model generalization—skills that impress employers and open doors in robotics and AI.
Who Is This For?
- Intermediate Python developers diving into computer vision
- Deep learning students craving a portfolio-worthy capstone
- Aspiring robotics or autonomous systems engineers
- AI enthusiasts who want to build something truly impressive
