Summary

This chapter addressed the question of how SDCs are becoming a reality. We discovered that SDC technology has existed for decades. We learned how it has evolved, and about advanced research through the arrival of computational power such as GPUs. We also learned about the advantages, disadvantages, challenges, and levels of autonomy of an SDC.

Don't worry if you feel a bit confused or overwhelmed after reading this chapter. The purpose of this chapter was to provide you with an extremely high-level overview of SDCs.

In the next chapter, we are going to study the concept of deep learning more closely. This is the most interesting and important topic of this book, and after reading Chapter 2, Dive Deep into Deep Neural Networks, you will be well versed in deep learning.
