There is a new course online which will teach you how to make self-driving cars, and the prospects of earning after taking this course are very bright.

Several courses have mushroomed in the emerging tech areas with a recent spurt in online education space, but self- driving cars is one area where nobody has really ventured so far, except Udacity, an edu-tech platform prevalent globally.

It has taken a rather smart move by being the first in introducing a course in one of the most exciting and cutting edge technology in today's times. Udacity calls this course - Self Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree course.

Vardhan Koshal, India Head, Udacity, explained what this course means for Indian students. He said - “As automakers, startups, and technology companies race to develop self-driving cars, demand is soaring for workers who can create the brains for these autonomous vehicles.”

He added – “For Indian students, this is also a great opportunity to learn directly from the authority on self-driven cars and help them in bringing them at par with the best in the global ecosystem.”

What’s in it for students
Students who enroll for it will directly learn from one of the foremost authority on Self Driving Cars, Sebastian Thrun, a Google roboticist. Each one will have 9 months for this online program and will work on interactive projects in computer vision and robotic controls, as well as other software development skills that are needed to build and develop the self-driving car technology.

Why it makes sense to take this course
Self-driving cars are set to change the way we live with technology on the cutting-edge of robotics, machine learning, computer vision, and mechanical engineering. Auto companies are seeking talent who would be having the required skills to get projects going. The program will help early adopters who think more long-term and eagerly follow latest tech trends.
The best part about taking this course for engineers is the average salary you can get paid which is anywhere between $68,800 to $210,000. It totals up to a crore for Indians.

Who it’s meant for
The course for autonomous vehicles is not for beginners and students will be required to have a background in probability, statistics, and basic linear algebra.
