Be sure to gain mastery in Computer Vision through these projects since Self-Driving Tech is strong intertwined the Computer Vision.

Advanced

At this point, you have accumulated substantial expertise in the domains of Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. The time has come to explore opportunities that offer practical, hands-on experience in the development of Self-Driving Cars. Leverage your portfolio of projects, certifications, and knowledge to secure an internship position within a reputable Self-Driving Car company.

Self-driving car technology is not something that can be effectively honed in isolation. Rather, it necessitates the collaborative efforts of multidisciplinary teams dedicated to advancing the capabilities of autonomous vehicles. Thus, pursuing an internship offers an invaluable opportunity to contribute to this collective endeavor and may even pave the way for a rewarding career in the field.

There are also few courses you can learn and understand for a deeper understanding.
