Well, I did it! I finally completed term 1 of Udacity’s Self-Driving Car Nanodegree. The past three months has been a bumpy ride to say the least and I have successfully steered through the obstacles faced during this time, both virtually and figuratively!

During this period, I have spent many all-nighters chugging down on redbull and coffee in an attempt to consume enough caffeine to stick it out and get through the various hurdles the course throws at you. I have on multiple ocassions spent days working on an idea only to get so frustrated with the results and progress to go ahead and scrap it entirely. Only to later realize that I had been right all along but made a tiny error in executing it!

In hindsight(*spoiler alert), it was worth all the trouble!

Here are my thoughts about the course…

*Disclaimer: I hope this article helps anyone debating whether or not to take up such a course or not! I had planned on providing an in depth review after completing every project but my time management skills failed me once again. Thus, I won’t be reviewing the projects in depth(which has already been covered extensively by my peers) but instead describe my experience till now…
