Udacity is building further on its partnership with Mercedes-Benz, this time launching a “Sensor Fusion Engineer” Nanodegree program. Udacity is working with Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America (MBRDNA), notably one of the first automotive manufacturers to get hold of a license to test driverless cars on public roads in California.
Udacity first partnered with Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America in 2016 to launch its “Self-Driving Car Engineer” Nanodegree program, one that has seen more than 21,000 enrollments from 120 countries. Udacity says “many of its graduates” have landed new jobs at the likes of BMW, Bosch, Lyft, Nvidia, Audi, and Jaguar Land Rover.
