Hi all,
My name is Dhruv and I work on the AI programs here at Udacity. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or email me at [email protected]. I'll do my best to answer everything! You can see our curriculum in depth here: https://medium.com/udacity/deep-learning-nanodegree-foundation-program…

Hi Oliver! I am getting started with this data. Please share pointers\direction about how can I start consuming this data.
Update 1 - I see there are lot of details here - https://medium.com/udacity/challenge-2-using-deep-learning-to-predict-…

> That's total bullshit.
Udacity has their own self-driving vehicle. They built it for their Self-Driving Vehicle Car Engineer Nanodegree program; I just started term 3 yesterday, and apparently they're going ahead with the plan for student to run code on it.

Apparently, they have a test track, and will have a safety driver on-board. For that part of the term (dubbed "Integration"), we'll be broken into teams of 10-20 students, and (somehow) have to coordinate on building the software pieces to run on the vehicle. This will all be done using a custom simulator designed to replicate the test track (similar to what has already been used). Once something is working, the group will then merge the pieces (nodes and modules for ROS and something called AutoWare) all together in a shared github repo. That'll be shipped over to Udacity for testing on "track days", and results sent back to the team for analysis.
I'm not sure how well this whole thing is going to work; it's very much an experiment that I believe is unique for a MOOC and hasn't been tried before (develop software as a group project of international students, to drive a real self-driving vehicle on a test track in Mountain View, CA - yep, that seems reasonable).
I guess we'll see when we get there. The vehicle is named "Carla", and (overall) it is open-sourced. Here are some links to learn more about…
