To my knowledge, this is the first MOOC on self-driving cars where each student can have their own robot home to play with.

Our feeling is that to really learn about robotics you need to touch and see things with your own eyes. This was one of the major motivating factors for us.

By the way, because it's a kit that you assemble, after you finish this course (and the follow-ups to come out) can do other projects with the Jetson Nano, sensors, and servos included.
