Self Driving Cars
In this unit, students learn about the self-driving car, and how AI powers its decision-making processes so that it can perform safe driving behaviors. Let's assume that in one instance a car encounters a piece of trash on the road ahead and in another it encounters a dog as an obstacle: how does it know to stop for the dog but not for the trash bag?
As part of the curriculum, students program their own self-driving model car to identify and avoid different types of obstacles on a paper track.
