Udacity adds a new \u2018Intro to Self-Driving Cars\u2019 Nanodegree<\/strong><\/a> — from techcrunch.com by Darrell Etherington<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

You likely won\u2019t be surprised when I tell you that building a self-driving car is difficult and complex. Udacity <\/a>has tried to help address that difficulty with flexible, online education for self-driving engineers through its Self-Driving Cars Nanodegree program, and now it\u2019s expanding its offerings with a new Intro to Self-Driving Cars Nanodegree<\/a> being introduced at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2017 that\u2019s designed to help funnel more talent into the intermediate-level course, and from there into the workforce, where demand is incredibly strong and growing.<\/p>\n

Udacity\u2019s Nanodegrees are designed from the start to help democratize education in areas of tech where there\u2019s a strong appetite from the employer side, and not nearly enough talent to go around. But what the company found with its self-driving material was that it was actually quite advanced compared to the skill level of interested students, so it set out to create a kind of fundamentals introductory program to help make sure more could enter the main course with a better foundation.
\n…
\nAlso new to this program, and again in the spirit of increasing access to education for these very high demand skills, Udacity is teaming up with Lyft, which will be providing 400 full scholarships<\/a> (covering the total $800 value) for the Intro program. Applications for those open today, too.<\/p>\n
