The full course title being MIT 6.S094 Deep Learning for Self-Driving Cars.
Get a course T-shirt, there is still one day left to order it:

yeah, that is right, found the link https://selfdrivingcars.mit.edu/

Nice. I wonder how comparable it is with Udacity's Self-Driving Car Nanodegree. Specially if MIT's lectures are freely available over the internet(YouTube).
DeepTesla from MIT course corresponds to Udacity's Behavioral Cloning project from NVidia (Davenet-2) and MIT extends it by combining 3D convolutions with RNNs for better steering angle estimates; MIT's SegFuse corresponds to Semantic Segmentation with Berkeley's FCN at Udacity; Deep Reinforcement Learning for path planning and crash avoidance is unique at MIT, Udacity focuses on camera/LiDAR/radar as the main sensors whereas MIT mentions ultrasonic sensors for detecting condition of the road; MIT uniquely teaches how to sense state of driver from facial features detection; Udacity adds classical computer vision with HOG+SVM, tracking of objects with Extended/Unscented Kalman filters, driving using PID and MPC controllers, path planning using polynomial path approximations. They both mention some advanced object detection algorithms like R-CNN or SSD.
TL;DR: Once you finished Udacity, MIT gives you more wonderful topics you'd understand instantly (except for Deep Reinforcement Learning where you need to do some graduate-level coursework yourself).

Thanks for the details. I think it would be a good idea to take this free(MIT) course first, and then see if you are still interested in this topic and/or missing some required coaching which one could get with Udacity(paid of-course).
I was wondering if anyone has built their own toy self driving car? Like a little battery powered toy car that can drive itself. Is that something I can build as a hobby?
This guy "Sentdex" on Youtube actually built a self-driving "car" in GTA V. It's actually a pretty interesting series. He has a website (here: https://pythonprogramming.net/)
People make them (and even race) self-driving cars. Check out donkeycar.com
And also formulapi.com !
One other interesting way to test higher level self-driving techniques is by running them through GTAV ;)
I remember taking Andrew Ng Machine Learning on Coursera in 2013, unbelievable how much changed since then.
At this rate, soon the AI's going to open a "Human Learning" course to see if they can teach us anything. I hope we're not "depreciated".
He's got another set of courses on Coursera for deep learning, but that ML course still forms the foundation.
If anyone has taken them, how do fast.ai courses compare with the others?
It's okay. Still just scratches the surface. Felt a bit too superficial for my tastes. He still does a good job of explaining intuitions and at a simpler level, but it definitely isn't very rigorous and the homework assignments still hold your hand a fair amount. I lost interest after a couple of the courses and ended up canceling my Coursera subscription.
Are you talking about the fast.ai course or Ng's coursera course?
Would it be wrong for HN to ‘retire’ a few usernames, similar to what sporting leagues do?
I’m sure the name was chosen for positive reasons. But the guy who contributed and suffered so much, who used math to help save lives against Hitler, now will have a ghost randomly commenting on html or whatever topic in discussion threads?
I readily acknowledge some of the obvious counterpoints:
- who cares. it’s a username. move along.
- happens all the time with others
- it would require work to add a retired list check and make decisions.

If I have the same name as a historical person, should I be barred from using that as an username? While it is unlikely that /u/AlanTuring has that name in real life, the probability of such collisions would become a lot higher if HN decided to block usernames of prominent mathematicians and scientists.
Would you want to participate as Martin Luther King in a civil rights discussion forum? Personally I would not. Even if it were my real name, I would prefer to choose an alternate.
However, I understand your point of view and realize it’s a subjective preference.

It could be his real name. I see that there are around 60 Alan Turings on LinkedIn.
