TOP REVIEWS FROM STATE ESTIMATION AND LOCALIZATION FOR SELF-DRIVING CARS
A well-taught course by Prof. Jonathan Kelly.I accumulated huge amount of knowledge after undergoing his teachings.The supplementary readings proved to be of great help to ace the final project.
one of best experiences. But the course requires a steep learning curve. The discussion forums are really helpful
A great Journey for anyone interested in Self Driving Cars. State estimation is vital in this field and this is a great course to start learning it!
great course but there's really a big need to provide assistance in assignments like hints, equations etc
