Udacity Self driving car nano degree - Thoughts
Thinking of enrolling in self driving car engineering nano degree from udacity and make efforts to pursue a career in self driving car engineering. Have genuine interest in computer vision. Is it worth it ? Current experience: 5 years of experience in back end and big data engineering.
Wow what a Nice troll. Big Brains . Will laugh at it next week.
Nope. The credential is too common, and the course is easy. The few (out of thousands) whoāve been hired into the industry are MechE or embedded.
There are also very few roles in vision/perception, but tons for simulation and mapping, other systems and eng. So why not try those? Vision is hardly the most impactful part, and youāre going to be either cleaning data or tuning parameters based on work done somewhere else.
Study RL Bro. CV is so old school . With the accuracy already at 95% - what new will you bring to table ?
Currently doing this nanodegree. The material is easy and the quizzes are maybe too easy. You can get equivalent knowledge from 2-3 books/MOOCs on robotics and computer vision instead, but this course keeps you on schedule and Iāve enrolled for this discipline/motivation. Best if you can reimburse the cost by your company. Itās probably not going to make all self-driving startups swoon over you, but I think itāll be a bonus point.
I agree
I also have genuine interest in rocket science. Maybe I should also do those $500 course, get certified and start building rocket. Mars, here I come
The premium package?
