    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 f...

    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!

    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.

    Although it took me a long time to finish the Programming Assignments, somehow i feel its not hard enough. LOL.

    Excellent lesson!

    I hope this course could provide some coding homework written in C++.

    The material covered was good, and the supplemental materials are always helpful to guide those that want to learn more (I am a huge fan of these references being provided, even if we have to hunt down a PDF).

    I think this course was missing more coding exercises though. This is a deep subject, and a critical one in the AV world, so I'm very disappointed that there weren't more of these to illustrate how to solve some common motion planning problems.

    The final project is also very weak. I understand that motion planning is very complex and involves a lot of math (making it difficult to create an assignment that isn't overwhelmingly difficult), but the final assignment is full of hand-holding, making already easy tasks trivial. Most of the interesting parts are already done for you, so I didn't have to think about motion planning at all. On top of that there is an error in the Coursera-provided code which students have pointed out a year ago, yet still exists. Fix this!

    I think this course is worth doing if you are pursuing the Self Driving Car curriculum, and it has some solid information in it, but just don't expect to get rich coverage. The first 3 courses in the Self Driving Cars curriculum were much better.

    I wish there were more coding assignments in weeks 1-6. I also wish that the final assignment had more code for us to write. For example, collision_checker.py has <5 lines of code to be written.

    Final Test is a stupid reverse engineering and integration task without demand for deeper knowledge

    This course is good for you if you already know the concepts and just want to review it. It's a terrible course if you don't know the concepts and want to learn from it. This is true for all courses in this specialization.

    The final assignment is heavily outdated and incompatible with current Linux-based operating systems. It relies on heavily outdated versions of python and other pip packages. An absolute pain.
