Self-driving cars have five key components: computer vision, sensor fusion, localization, path planning, and control. Here's how they come together to create a world-changing technology. David Silver leads the Self-Driving Car Team at Udacity, where he teaches a nine-month program that trains engineers to work in the autonomous vehicle industry. Prior to Udacity, David was a Research Engineer at Ford Motor Company. Before Ford, David worked in engineering and product roles at Candidate Metrics, mSpot, and AOL. He has an MBA from Stanford University, and a BSE in computer science from Princeton University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
