Overview of this book

Thanks to a number of recent breakthroughs, self-driving car technology is now an emerging subject in the field of artificial intelligence and has shifted data scientists' focus to building autonomous cars that will transform the automotive industry. This book is a comprehensive guide to use deep learning and computer vision techniques to develop autonomous cars. Starting with the basics of self-driving cars (SDCs), this book will take you through the deep neural network techniques required to get up and running with building your autonomous vehicle. Once you are comfortable with the basics, you'll delve into advanced computer vision techniques and learn how to use deep learning methods to perform a variety of computer vision tasks such as finding lane lines, improving image classification, and so on. You will explore the basic structure and working of a semantic segmentation model and get to grips with detecting cars using semantic segmentation. The book also covers advanced applications such as behavior-cloning and vehicle detection using OpenCV, transfer learning, and deep learning methodologies to train SDCs to mimic human driving. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to implement a variety of neural networks to develop your own autonomous vehicle using modern Python libraries.

Diving deep into neural networks

Deep learning is a sub-field of ML that is based on ANNs (see Fig 2.1). Deep learning mimics the human brain and is inspired by the structure and function of the brain. The concept of deep learning is not new and has existed for a number of years. The reason for the popularity and success of deep learning in recent years is due to high powered processing units, such as GPUs, and the presence of enormous amounts of data. One of the reasons for deep neural networks (DNNs) performing better is the complex relationships among features and high-dimensional data:

One of the great things about deep learning is that it eliminates human input. It replaces the costly and inefficient effort of human beings and automates most of the extraction process from features and raw data so that it doesn't require human involvement. Before, we used to extract features ourselves to make ML algorithms...
