About

The course aims to provide the knowledge needed to design and develop efficient driving and navigation solutions for autonomous vehicles. Driving can be strategic or tactical while navigation is the function that provides information about the position, speed and orientation of the vehicle. It is made by integrating measurement from different sources, such as sensors and receivers.
