About the Course

Welcome to Motion Planning for Self-Driving Cars, the fourth course in University of Toronto’s Self-Driving Cars Specialization. This course will introduce you to the main planning tasks in autonomous driving, including mission planning, behavior planning and local planning. By the end of this course, you will be able to find the shortest path over a graph or road network using Dijkstra's and the A* algorithm, use finite state machines to select safe behaviors to execute, and design optimal, smooth paths and velocity profiles to navigate safely around obstacles while obeying traffic laws. You'll also build occupancy grid maps of static elements in the environment and learn how to use them for efficient collision checking. This course will give you the ability to construct a full self-driving planning solution, to take you from home to work while behaving like a typical driving and keeping the vehicle safe at all times. For the final project in this course, you will implement a hierarchical motion planner to navigate through a sequence of scenarios in the CARLA simulator, including avoiding a vehicle parked in your lane, following a lead vehicle and safely navigating an intersection. You'll face real-world randomness and need to work to ensure your solution is robust to changes in the environment. This is an intermediate course, intended for learners with some background in robotics, and it builds on the models and controllers devised in Course 1 of this specialization. To succeed in this course, you should have programming experience in Python 3.0, and familiarity with Linear Algebra (matrices, vectors, matrix multiplication, rank, Eigenvalues and vectors and inverses) and calculus (ordinary differential equations, integration)....

If not online and self-paced, I would not have the courage to attempt this advanced-level Self-Driving Program. Thanks UoT and the instructors for offering such high-quality courses to the public. 👍😊

The course is very good for the basic knowledge of self driving. There are a lot of good examples of different parts. I have learned a lot from it. Thank you for your excellent job!

The final project could've been a little shorter in terms of complexity and rather specific sub exercises regarding each module could've been planned. This is because most of the TODOs were pretty self explanatory and left little margin for putting hands on workin on path optimization, etc. I understand and agree this is very difficult to plan out, and I take away from this specialization a great deal, though!

Excellent material and there is a ton of supplemental links to check out. Many of the assignments do not have intermediate checks so debugging is a challenge. Also there is very little active support, there aren't any instructors active in the forums currently so I had to rely on old discussion posts. Still, I made it through with a large new skill set to show for it.

Honestly, I thought that AI methods are more involved in the motion planning for self-driving cars... About the course, the final assignment is super easy compared to previous assignments in the specialization.
