This is Part 3 of the series.Here is the Part 2, go check it out to know what has been going on in my Garage!
1 Month down the Highway with My Self Driving Car Learning Path and I’m loving the ride. And I have some exciting News to Share.
But First, here’s what I’ve been upto in my Garage:
- Completed the MIT SDC 2018 Course and got a High Score of 70Mph in DeepTraffic. I’m looking forward to the release of SegFuse to try more exciting stuff.
- [Failure] Fried the RasPi Camera on My Mini SDC Project. Fair Warning: Be very careful when working with Bare Circuit Electronics. Luckily, my New Camera has just arrived as Today, the Pi Board was undamaged and I can get back to it.
- Completed the Projects Lane Finding and Traffic Sign Classifier. A detailed post on these once these have been reviewed by Udacity.
- Practised LSTM implementations (End-to-End) with Keras (Link TBD).
-
Learnt ROS Basics. [Announcement]: I will soon release a Medium and YouTube Tutorial series on working with Self Driving Cars using ROS (with Gazebo Sim).
Here’s the First (Unedited) Video from the Series:

I’ve explored a Few Simulators for Playing with my SDC Ideas: - CarlaSim- Autoware- AirSim- TrueVision- RightHook- EuroTruckSim 2A more detailed Post on these soon once I have a firm understanding of all the Simulators. Right Now, I like ETS2 and Carla a lot. But I have a lot more tinkering to do.
Google India Scholarship
I have always wanted to work on Deep Learning ideas that would help people at a massive scale.
Developing Android/iOS applications would be the ideal path to this.
Thanks to Udacity and Google for granting me the Scholarship to Android App Dev.
I certainly hope to release a few ideas of mine (For free of course, by Q3–2018).
Changing Lanes to Take a Flight
Given my belief in Sebestian Thrun’s philosophy of Dreaming Big and chasing ideas fearlessly, I was really looking forward to the Flying Car Nanodegree.
And when I received an acceptance mail from Udacity, On the 14th of Feb - I decided to change lanes and Shift Gears for a Flight.
What would you expect a Geek to do on Valentine’s?
I decided to invest my Savings for a GPU-Rig to learn about Flying Cars.
Fly Now, Train Models Later. (Meanwhile, AWS to The Rescue)
I’m definitely up for a Challenge since I’m studying about Flying Cars, Self Driving Cars and Learning from the Scholarship and I’m a ‘Full Time University Student, Part Time Deep Learning Student’.
But I certainly will continue sharing in this series, what I’ve learnt via the Nanodegrees. And Share my Path to Driving and Flying Autonomously.
What are you geeks upto on Valentine’s?
Re:Coming up Soon (Links TBD):
- PyTorch Series
- ROS Series
- SDC Projects Series
- Flying Car Series (Detailed Project Descriptions, If I’m able to- A YouTube Series)
Here’s a Long Term Dream Concept of Mine:
